Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has proposed leading a transitional governing authority in Gaza following the end of the Israel-Hamas war, according to reports by The Telegraph and The Economist.

The plan, developed through the Tony Blair Institute (TBI), involves the creation of a temporary administration called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA). GITA would be established under United Nations auspices and serve as the governing authority in post-war Gaza for several years before transferring control to the Palestinian Authority (PA), pending internal reforms.

Blair, 72, reportedly offered to head the interim body on the condition that it would eventually return power to the Palestinian Authority. According to The Economist, Blair is prepared to devote his time to implementing the proposal.

The initiative has garnered support from Jared Kushner, former adviser to President Donald Trump, and Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy. The two presented the plan during a meeting with Trump at the White House on August 27.
