Former British prime minister Tony Blair is reportedly being tapped as the head of an Israeli initiative seeking to encourage other countries to take in Palestinians fleeing Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Israel’s Channel 12 news, without citing a source, has reported that Blair recently met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz to go over the possibility of the former British leader taking charge of where Palestinian refugees from Gaza could be relocated.
The Israeli government has not made official comments regarding post-war refugee efforts.
Most of the Palestinian population in Gaza - 1.8 million people - have been displaced since Israel began its bombardment three months ago.
