According to the Times of Israel, Israel is seeking former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as a "humanitarian coordinator" for the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Strip is currently facing a serious humanitarian crisis, with more than 11,000 people killed, including more than 4,500 children and more than 3,000 women, and more than 27,400 injured as of 10 November. At the same time, the International Criminal Court found that Israel may have committed war crimes, and the international community's condemnation of Israel has become increasingly severe.
In light of these circumstances, Israel hopes to use Blair's experience and influence to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and reduce international pressure. Blair, the youngest prime minister in British history, took a hard line on Hamas in the Gaza Strip during his reign and refused to call for a ceasefire in the early days of Lebanon's conflict with Israel.
In addition, Blair has served as a special envoy to the Middle East Quartet and as a member of the "Friends of Israel's Labor Party", with some knowledge and influence on the relationship between Israel and Palestine.
He also founded the "Tony Blair Institute for Global Change," a think tank with offices in Israel and a deep understanding of matters between Palestine and Israel.
The think tank not only has some influence in Africa and the Middle East, but also receives huge donations from Saudi Arabia and is supported by the United States. All this became one of the reasons why Israel fell in love with Blair.
Through Blair, Israel hopes to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and reduce the pressure on it from the international community.
However, Blair was one of the supporters of the American war in Iraq, during which Iraq suffered great damage.
As a result, this nomination has caused some controversy. However, it is undeniable that Blair's experience and influence make him a strong candidate for Israel to find a solution.
In short, Israel is seeking Blair as "humanitarian coordinator" in the Gaza Strip. The initiative aims to use Blair's experience and influence to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza and reduce international pressure.
