U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday questioned whether former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair would serve on a new "Board of Peace" that is intended to oversee the governance of Gaza, amid ongoing criticisms of Blair for his role in the Iraq War.
"I've always liked Tony, but I want to find out that he's an acceptable choice to everybody," Trump said, without naming specific leaders who could be weighing in on his choice of Blair.

Blair on a 'board of peace' after Iraq is a joke?
Trump looks to be thinking about it
I can’t imagine anyone in the Middle East wanting Britain represented on the board, given their past history there. After the war, they literally catered to the muslims when it came to restricting Jewish immigration to the area, and limiting their ability to purchase property. Many Jews left Europe and headed to Palestine once the war was over, because they said they did not feel safe in Europe anymore.
yeah he’s not. hopefully Trump gets the skinny on Blair from the brilliant Mark Steyn.
Do not let that evil, leftist scumbag Blair near anything.
Hope you’re right
Blair a ridiculous, uncredible thought
sorry to have to point out the obvious but this entire ‘peace board’ is a bad joke (at best)
I doubt there's ANYONE who would be acceptable to EVERYBODY.
