New Middle East peace envoy Tony Blair is scheduled to hold talks with European Union officials Tuesday amid renewed international efforts revive Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana announced he would fly to the region immediately after his lunch with Blair. Prospects for peace in the region have dimmed with Hamas’ recent takeover of the Gaza Strip, which left the Palestinians split between rival leaderships in the coastal territory and the West Bank.
