Why Tony Blair and Jared Kushner were at the White House to discuss Gaza

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are attending a White House meeting on Wednesday to lay out US and Israeli plans for the fate of post-war Gaza, according to media reports.

The meeting comes days after Trump said he expected Israel's war on Gaza to end within "two to three weeks". Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, then said on Wednesday that the war would be finished by the end of the year. 

“It’s a very comprehensive plan we’re putting together on the next day that I think many people are going to be – they’re going to see how robust it is and how well-meaning it is,” Witkoff said, addressing the meeting at the White House.

“And it reflects President Trump’s humanitarian motives here.”
