"Tony Blair's peace plan highlighted 'Gaza for Gazans' as a significant component"
In a bid to turn a ceasefire in Gaza into a durable peace, former British national security adviser, Peter Ricketts, has emphasized the importance of Arab nations' support for the plan. This peace plan, proposed by Tony Blair, aims to forestall the most extreme Israeli efforts to expel the population of Gaza following a potential war.
The architects of the Blair deal, including the Arab Peace Initiative, view the Arab nations as crucial players in the success of the plan. However, as of the current available information, no Arab countries have officially declared a position supporting the reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip proposed by Tony Blair.
The plan involves establishing a Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA) to run the Strip for a time-limited period. This authority would be responsible for preserving the rights of Palestinians in Gaza, as demonstrated by the creation of a Property Rights Preservation Unit within the GITA.
International diplomats have been engaging with regional powers in the 'Arab Quint' to seek a common understanding of postwar governance, recovery, and reconstruction. The US, represented by Steve Witkoff, US Middle East envoy, is also putting together a 'very comprehensive' plan for the day after the war ends.
Polling by Zogby Research Services has shown that Gazans prefer the Palestinian Authority under President Mahmoud Abbas as their government, at 35%, or a transitional international coalition working with a local Gaza administration, at 27%. This contrasts sharply with the stance that all sides in the Quint process agree upon: that Hamas should have no future part in a Palestinian state.
The centerpiece of Blair's plan was presented to US President Donald Trump during a White House meeting in July. The hope is that the US leader's comments on redeveloping Gaza with Riviera-style resorts can be refocused on the needs of its people.
The summit on promoting a two-state solution, which has been condemned by the US, is being co-sponsored by Saudi Arabia and France. They want the summit to be seen as an agreement for Gaza, rather than a broader peace deal. The UK is working alongside these countries and Gulf partners to establish a framework for peace in Gaza.
As the international community continues to work towards a sustainable solution for Gaza, the focus remains on creating a peaceful and prosperous future for its people.
