Trump Meets Blair, Kushner to Discuss Gaza Post-War Plans

President Donald Trump chaired a White House meeting on the Gaza conflict, joined by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to discuss a comprehensive post-war plan for Gaza. The plan focuses on governance of Gaza without Hamas, expanding humanitarian aid, and rebuilding efforts after the conflict. Trump has expressed frustration over the prolonged war but supports a swift Israeli military operation, emphasizing the need for humanitarian intervention afterward. Blair and Kushner have been collaborating with Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, for months, briefing regional leaders and sharing proposals that reflect Trump’s stated humanitarian motives. Although details of the post-war plan remain limited, the U.S. administration aims for peace and prosperity in the region, with the expectation that Hamas will no longer govern Gaza once the war concludes. The meeting underscores Trump’s active engagement in Middle East policy during his second term and the administration’s focus on ending the nearly three-year Gaza conflict.
