CANADA'S CARNEY, RUBIO ALSO JOIN 'BOARD OF PEACE’

Trump taps Blair for Gaza peace role

PEACE BROKER: Former British premier Tony Blair attends a world leaders' summit on ending the Gaza war, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Oct 13, 2025

US President Donald Trump on Friday gave a key role in postwar Gaza to former British prime minister Tony Blair and appointed a US officer to lead a nascent security force.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has also accepted an offer from Mr Trump to join a so-called “Board of Peace” that's intended to oversee a US peace plan for the Gaza Strip, according to a senior Canadian official.

Mr Trump named members of a board to help supervise Gaza that was dominated by Americans, as he promotes a controversial vision of economic development in a territory that lies in rubble after two-plus years of relentless Israeli bombardment.

The step came after a Palestinian committee of technocrats meant to govern Gaza held its first meeting in Cairo which was attended by Jared Kushner, Mr Trump’s son-in-law who plays a key role on the Middle East.
