Tony Blair, a senior member of US President Donald Trump's Peace Council, met today (Thursday) with President Isaac Herzog at the President's Residence, while the Israeli political system is in uncertainty following the results of the elections for the 26th Knesset. Blair arrived in Israel for a series of meetings as part of American efforts to revive the stalled plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. According to sources familiar with the details, there is a significant stalemate with no real progress on the American framework, despite ongoing American pressure. Blair is expected to discuss ways to advance the first stages of the plan, including the introduction of a technocratic committee to Gaza and the establishment of an international stabilization force. Meanwhile, Hamas has not yet been disarmed and continues to rebuild its ranks, and the IDF continues intensified counterterrorism operations. The security establishment identifies Hamas preparing for a public relations campaign against the international community focusing on the humanitarian distress in the Strip during the winter season.
