LONDON: The Palestinian Authority’s Vice President Hussein Al-Sheikh met with Tony Blair and a US government representative on Sunday in Ramallah to discuss plans for the territory after the Israeli regime’s assault.
The meeting in Ramallah also focused on issues related to the occupied West Bank, particularly the requirements for achieving self-determination and Palestinian statehood, according to the Wafa news agency.
The meeting follows last week’s UN Security Council resolution, which includes the deployment of an International Stabilization Force in Gaza and plans for the reconstruction and governance of the territory.
Al-Sheikh acknowledged the ceasefire and aid efforts of US President Donald Trump and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the EU, the Wafa added.
The meeting was attended by Maj. Gen. Majid Faraj, head of the General Intelligence Service, the president’s advisor for diplomatic affairs Majdi Al-Khaldi, and presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina.
Blair served as the Quartet’s special envoy to the Middle East from 2007 to 2015. He is expected to play a role in the administration of Gaza, which will oversee the funding and redevelopment of the territory.
