SIR Tony Blair is reportedly planning to run Gaza after a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, it has emerged.

The former British PM, through his think tank the Tony Blair Institute (TBI), is forging plans to establish an interim government once the war ends in the besieged strip.

Sir Tony has been proposed to chair a supervisory board called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), the Financial Times reported.

It is understood that the former British PM is being backed by Donald Trump’s son-in-law and former Middle East adviser Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff, the US president’s special envoy.

In July, the paper said that his think tank participated in a project to develop a post-war Gaza plan.

He was part of a late August meeting that Trump presided over to tackle Israel's war in Gaza and post-war plans for the Palestinian territory.

Trump backed that plan before presenting the idea to the leaders of Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia and five Arab nations at the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week.

“Maybe we can end [the war] right now,” he reportedly told them.

GITA could initially be based in el-Arish, the capital of Egypt's North Sinai province near Gaza's south.

It would enter the strip accompanied by a multinational force, according to the plans.

The plan would be funded by the Gulf nations - and Sir Tony would head a team of up to 25 people and lead a seven-person board.

Gaza and the West Bank would be reunited and control would later be handed to the Palestinian Authority, who would have to undergo major reforms beforehand.

The think-tank had said none of its talks with different groups on post-war reconstruction of Gaza had included the idea of forcible relocation of people from the area.
