Tony Blair and Jared Kushner will participate in a meeting on Gaza at the White House on Wednesday and present President Trump with ideas for a post-war plan, two sources with knowledge tell Axios.
The meeting will also include a discussion of how to increase aid flows into Gaza, which is facing a famine.
Why it matters: A “day-after” plan for Gaza will be a key component of any diplomatic initiative to end a war that has killed more than 62,000 Palestinians over two years of fighting.
But rebuilding an enclave that is utterly destroyed and designing a political and security architecture that all sides can live with will be incredibly difficult.
The former British prime minister and Trump’s son-in-law and former adviser will discuss ideas for how Gaza can be governed without Hamas in power, the sources say.
What they’re saying: “President Trump has been clear that he wants the war to end, and he wants peace and prosperity for everyone in the region. The White House has nothing additional to share on the meeting at this time,” a White House official said.
