Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair told members of the Palestinian committee set up by the Trump administration to support the US-led Gaza executive board that it would not have a role in politics or disarmament in the strip.
Blair met the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) on Monday after earlier meeting with its chief commissioner, Dr Ali Shaath.
Blair stressed that NCAG's role was to serve as a service provider and to steer clear of politics and disarmament issues in the enclave.
Blair, who was appointed to the founding executive board of the "Board of Peace" by US President Donald Trump, said that he had come to get acquainted and communicate with NCAG directly.
Palestinian sources briefed on the meeting told Middle East Eye that Blair said that while the committee has a tough task ahead, the world supports it and is invested in its success.
