YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer prime minister Sir Tony Blair will be part of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza "Board of Peace" aimed at preventing future conflict in the territory.
Sir Tony’s name was listed alongside high-profile Trump administration officials as part of a “founding executive board” to lead long-term peace efforts in the Middle East, published by the White House.
The list also included US secretary of state Marco Rubio, special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and Mr Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Journalist Mehdi Hasan slammed the appointments as a "joke", pointing out there are no Palestinians or Arabs on the board.
Paul Brand is joined by journalist Peter Oborne and Republican strategist Erol Morkoç to discuss the 'bizarre' appointment.
