On Monday, President Trump outlined his proposal for a peace deal in Gaza, a moment he described as ‘potentially one of the great days ever in civilisation’. In a press conference announcing the plan, the President name-dropped Sir Tony Blair and said the former UK Prime Minister would have a key role in the governance of post-war Gaza. Blair has been part of high-level talks with the US and other parties about ending the conflict. To many in the Middle East he remains a divisive figure who is remembered primarily for his role in the US-led invasion of Iraq. So how did Blair become a central figure in this latest plan to end the war in Gaza, and what does this tell us about diplomacy under Trump 2.0? Asma Khalid speaks to the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent James Landale, who charts the story of Blair’s involvement in the Middle East and his warm relationship with President Trump.

  • If you heard our show yesterday, we brought you the big headlines from that announcement.

  • But there's something we haven't talked about yet.

  • This plan is not just a proposal to end the war.

  • It's a plan for what Donald Trump envisions could come next.

  • To ensure the success of this effort,

  • my plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body,

  • the board of peace, we call it.

  • The board of peace, sort of a beautiful name, the board.

  • This board of peace is a hypothetical international committee that would govern Gaza in the future,

  • chaired by Donald Trump himself.

  • Trump didn't mention all the other members, but he specifically singled out one person by name.

  • We'll have a board,

  • and one of the people that wants to be on the board is the UK former Prime Minister Tony Blair,

  • a good man, very good man.

  • Sir Tony Blair.

  • He's a politician familiar, some would even say infamous,
