Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the senior envoy of the Peace Council, arrived at the President's Residence to meet with President Isaac Herzog. Blair came to Israel for a series of meetings as part of efforts by the U.S. and the Peace Council to revive plans for Gaza's rehabilitation, despite the stalemate in talks with Hamas and the IDF's ongoing military activity in the Strip. Blair is expected to discuss ways to advance the initial stages of the plan, including the entry of the technocratic committee into Gaza and the establishment of an international stabilization force. He is expected to hold meetings with several Israeli officials.
