Tony Blair attends White House meeting with Trump on Gaza’s post-war future. Explore plans, reactions, and data on the crisis. Latest updates from America News World.
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair showed up at a White House meeting with US President Donald Trump. They talked about what happens in Gaza after the war. This happened on Wednesday. Many people were surprised. Blair has a past in Middle East peace efforts. But his time as an envoy got mixed reviews.
The meeting focused on a plan for Gaza. Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, called it a comprehensive plan. He said it would cover the day after the war ends. However, details are still secret. Trump has talked before about turning Gaza into a fancy resort area. He called it the “Middle Eastern Riviera.” His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was there too. Kushner helped with past deals like the Abraham Accords.
Blair left his job as UK leader in 2007. Then he worked as a Middle East envoy for eight years. He tried to help peace between Israel and Palestinians. But many say it did not work well. Palestinians did not trust him much. They thought he favored Israel. Husam Zomlot, a Palestinian ambassador, did not comment on Blair being there. But feelings run high.
In addition, experts like Shibley Telhami from the University of Maryland spoke out. He said Blair’s past hurts his image in the Middle East. Blair backed the Iraq war. He has ties to rich leaders there. Telhami thinks this could make people in the region angry. It might also hurt views around the world.
Moreover, no big Arab leaders were at the meeting. Telhami pointed that out. Arabs will feel the effects most. Nearby countries like neighbors to Israel will pay a lot. Wealthy Gulf states might have to give money for rebuilding.
Trump’s idea to take over Gaza and move people out got a lot of pushback. The Palestinian Authority called it against international law. European leaders said it was not okay. But some reports say plans are moving forward. A study talked about paying Palestinians to leave. It used ideas from Boston Consulting Group. Blair’s think tank, the Tony Blair Institute, talked with them. But the institute says they did not make or back the plan.
The institute spokesperson said they want a better Gaza for its people. Blair has worked on this since leaving office. It is not about moving Gazans out.
Meanwhile, on the ground, things are bad in Gaza. The war started after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. About 1,200 people died in Israel. Over 250 were taken hostage. Israel’s response killed nearly 62,900 in Gaza, mostly civilians. That comes from Gaza’s health ministry. The UN says these numbers are reliable.
Here is some key data on the Gaza crisis:
- Total deaths in Gaza: 62,900 (as of August 2025)
- Israeli deaths from initial attack: 1,200
- Hostages taken: 251 (only about 20 believed alive now)
- Displaced people in Gaza: Over 90% of the population
- Homes damaged or destroyed: More than 90%
- Famine declared in Gaza City area by UN experts
To show this better, here is a simple graph of deaths over time.
Furthermore, the UN Security Council called the famine man-made. They want Israel to let in more aid. Starvation as a war tool is against the law.
In the UK, some leaders want Blair to tell parliament about the meeting. Ed Davey from the Liberal Democrats said the UK must use info to make Trump do right.
Israel’s military keeps going in Gaza. They warn people to leave Gaza City. Tanks move in places like Jabalia. Hospitals report dozens killed daily.

As a result, this meeting could change things. But Palestinians distrust Trump. His past plans skipped a two-state solution. Blair’s role might add weight. Or it could make trust worse.
