It was reported on the 27th August 2025 that Tony Blair was in Washington, D.C, to attended a meeting at the White House regarding Gaza, according to Sky News. Their correspondent, Mark Stone, stated on TV “I don’t think we should see this as a huge surprise. He has been at the White House before, I think last back in February and that too was in part at least a discussion about gaza. It is clear that Tony Blair and his institute, the Tony Blair institute, believe that they can provide some expertise, some assistance, in working out what the day after plan for Gaza will be. Remember, Tony Blair was once the former Middle East envoy when the so called quartet was formed. He spent many, many months in Jerusalem, living in the American Colony Hotel, trying to formulate a plan back then for what would be a two state solution that has never come to pass. So he clearly has a background and a deep knowledge of the region and he believes that he can provide some input”.

The issues with that statement

1. We should see this as a huge surprise considering millions of people consider Tony Blair to be a war criminal. What isn’t surprising, is that the patriarchy has the chutzpah to summon, Tony Blair, out of all people to discuss plans for a two state solution.

2. The only assistance and expertise that the Blair Institute can provide is what not to do in the Middle East. His involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is enough to go off, it almost feels like an unforgivable move by allowing him to be involved at all.

3. The ‘background and deep knowledge of the region’ – yet what was failed to be mentioned was the inquiry and report of Blair’s background, e.g The Iraq Inquiry 2003 aka Chilcot Inquiry.

The Iraq Inquiry stated that Saddam Hussein did not pose an urgent threat to British interests and found the war unnecessary as peaceful alternatives had not been exhausted. George Bush gave Tony Blair a chance to opt out of the conflict, as Blair knew his country was protesting against the war and would lose his position in government. He still went ahead, despite the repercussions of moving forward without complete certainty of threat intelligence, stating, “I’m staying, even if it costs me my government.”.

The sheer ignorance of Sky News to broadcast that statement which does come across as being so sure to the average person, you know the familiar ‘Remember, people! He spent a long time around that area so he must know what he’s talking about!’ as if the population have all of a sudden forgot what Tony Blair has done and what he is capable of doing. I have no idea why upon brushing into Blair’s background, the reporter failed to mention the inquiry into the Iraq War that assessed Blair’s role, it concluded that his justification for the war was flawed. It’s very much relevant – because why is he involved in international conflict yet again? He faced widespread calls to be held accountable as a war criminal due to the unnecessary decision to invade Iraq. His involvement in the Iraq war lead to the largest demonstration in British history where it was estimated 1.5 million anti-war protesters marched through London in 2003. To this day, Tony Blair is haunted by anti-war campaigners and rightfully so. He can’t even speak at any event without average Joe shouting war criminal and his involvement campaigned against by anti-war charities and protesters.

Is it just delusion that he is somehow able to provide any kind of expertise or opinion into the Palestine and Israel conflict? Seriously, any shreds of integrity Blair had in conflict resolution was made extremely clear in 2003. What is the purpose of him being there? Not only do I question the existence of Blair in politics and international conflict in 2025, I question the existence of the Tony Blair institute for global change itself.

Blair & Palestine (2015)

On the 27th May 2015, the BBC reported ‘Tony Blair quits Middle East envoy role’. The article states that Blair would leave his role, but that he would “remain active” in the region in an informal role, a source close to Blair told the BBC. ‘Don’t prosecute me, it was just an informal role guys!’. Blair took the UN role just hours after he left Downing Street in 2007. The source then continues that Blair is “fully committed to assisting the international community in its work with Israel and the Palestinians to bring about progress on the two-state solution. He believes that he can best support these efforts through working with the key regional players, the USA, the EU and others, without any formal role.” The key words throughout all of the above is ‘without any formal role’. It feels extremely telling to me that Blair quit his role with the UN to do the same thing ‘informally’. Naturally, there is less scrutiny and accountability since leaving government and an institution like the UN. If Tony Blair turns up at a discussion, he is not representing the UK or the UN in any official capacity – he is representing himself and the Tony Blair Institute. That means he is not therefore binded to act within the interests of the UK or on behalf of the UN, he is therefore a private individual / advisor providing what he thinks is expertise. That should scare us all, the thought of Blair not being accountable to anybody. He shouldn’t even be at the table in the first place. The source also added that Blair feels an “entirely new approach” is required to find a two-state solution.

Cut to August 2015, Tony Blair’s Faith Foundation received money from a financial conman linked with illegal Israeli settlements and an American Islamophobic network. Middle East Eye investigations show that during the time Blair was serving as the special Middle East peace envoy of the Quartet, representing the UN, Russia, US and EU, the American fundraising arm of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation accepted money from a family that finances illegal Israeli settlements. While conducting research on the transatlantic funders of the occupation in Palestine, published by Public Interest Investigations, they uncovered tax documents revealing the LA-based Milken Family Foundation donated $1 million to the Tony Blair Faith Foundation in 2013. The Milken Family Foundation’s director is Michael Milken. In 1990, Michael plead guilty to six felonies and agreed to pay $600 million, including $200 million in fines, to settle what The New York Times called “the biggest fraud case in the history of the securities industry”. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but served only 22 months. Between 2009-2013, the Milken family donated $555,000 to Aish HaTorah, an international Jewish Orthodox organisation that staunchly defends Israeli policies and features pro-settlement articles on its website. The article is researched into great depth, stating more recipients of the Milken fortune include: Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, the largest international donor of Israel’s occupation forces; Jewish National Fund, tasked to secure the Jewish stewardship of Palestinian lands; and Zionist Organization of America, the US branch of the World Zionist Organization, which according to The New York Times has played a key role in managing land and infrastructure in Israeli settlements.

Cue Wikileaks.

On the 9th July 2025, Wikileaks produced leaked documents that show staff at Tony Blair Institute (TBI) involved in a postwar proposal for Gaza to have a “Trump Riviera” and “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone”. An internal paper by TBI called the war a “once-in-a-century opportunity” which would see Gaza rebuilt with artificial islands, blockchain trade and tax-free zones. Not only areas named after Trump and Musk, the document includes the “MBS Ring” and “MBZ Central” highways – named after the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Part of me was surprised seeing this, but part of me felt truly horrified by the sheer greed and allure of these traitorous men to see this as an opportunity to capitalise and put their name on things. Do you really think the people of Gaza want another boot on their neck? Why do you have to give them their freedom at the cost of ‘oh and by the way, name that building after me’. Or see their freedom as some kind of opportunity. To take advantage of their current situation and get a riviera and zone named after you in a place that has witnessed death, poverty, malnourishment, war and oppression for years. Why would you even want that? I’m reminded of the dementors in Harry Potter, that suck the last remaining hope by draining others, to feed and satisfy themselves. Truly in Donald Trump fashion, as he only allowed Home Alone 2 to be filmed at his hotel in New York unless they gave him an appearance in the movie. I’ve mentioned this before in one of my other articles, Marvel, Disney, Mega deals, and the Military. Filmmaker Chris Columbus told Business Insider in 2020 in an article commemorating the film’s 30th anniversary, “We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie.’ So we agreed to put him in the movie,”.

According to The Guardian, The project is led by Israeli business people using financial models developed by an American consulting firm, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which was developed with Trump’s vision of taking over the Palestinian territory to transform it into a resort. The TBI said it was not involved in the authorship of the plan, apparently two staff took part in calls as the project evolved. The staff also took part in a message group used for the project, along with figures from BCG and the Israeli business people, while a TBI document titled “Gaza Economic Blueprint” was shared within it, the Financial Times reported. The most deplorable part of all of this, TBI denied it was involved in the preparation of a slide deck, which the FT reported had been developed by the Israeli business people using BCG’s financial models, said to have proposed paying half a million Palestinians to leave the area. The article then states “The slides reportedly outlined a plan called the “Great Trust” and was shared with the Trump administration. It envisaged that private investors would have been attracted to Gaza once many of the inhabitants had been paid to leave.”. Excuse me? Entirely counterproductive to a conflict solution, if the aim is to attract investors after you expect current inhabitants to accept payment and leave? So their plan is for Palestinians to eventually leave Gaza? The whole point of this is for Palestinians to remain in Gaza.

This isn’t the first controversy for BCG, due to its connection to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the controversial Israeli- and US-backed delivery group. The consulting company stated in June that it had cancelled its contract with the GHF, amid media scrutiny into the group’s work and sources of funding. This led to BCG firing two partners who had ‘’misled senior management’.

In a truly ghoul-like and villainous way, Tony Blair still haunts us. What’s worse is that he is allowed to. What’s even worse than that is that he is still up for it. You’d think that on a human level, a conscious would stop further involvement in international conflict resolution. I am genuinely curious, as a human, does he not feel the need to repent? The need to get the hell out of dodge rather than get his paws grubby again? It leads me to believe he is not ashamed of his behaviour or involvement in the unnecessary war in Iraq. He is still, clearly, heavily involved in the exact same area millions protested his involvement in. People are no less disgusted by his behaviour in 2025 than they were in 2003.
