Tony Blair in discussions to run transitional Gaza authority
LONDON – Former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair has been involved in discussions about leading a post-war transitional authority in Gaza.The proposal, which is said to have backing from the White House, would see Blair lead a governing authority supported by the UN and Gulf nations – before handing control back to Palestinians.His office said he would not support any proposal that displaced the people of Gaza.Sir Tony, who took the UK into the Iraq War in 2003, has been part of high-level planning talks with the US and other parties about the future of Gaza.In August, he joined a White House meeting with Trump to discuss plans for the territory, which US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff described as "very comprehensive" – though little else was disclosed about the...

But then I moved my hand and alerted them to the fact that I was alive.”Palestinian doctors whisked him away before sewing up his wounds in a kitchen because there were not enough operating rooms at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, Gaza City – in a fraught scene of impossible triage and medical improvisation replicated across the strip....
