Tony Blair claims crisis in Gaza due to 'extremism' and 'corruption'

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair blamed the crisis in Gaza on "extremism" and "corruption" during a speech at the inaugural meeting of Donald Trump's "Board of Peace." He hailed a 20-point plan for Gaza proposed by Trump as the only hope for the region, without mentioning Israel's role in the conflict. The comments drew criticism for ignoring the Israeli occupation and blockade, with one critic labeling it a "colonial mindset." The current UK government has also distanced itself from Blair's involvement with the board, which has been boycotted by several European countries.
