Trump appoints Tony Blair to Gaza 'Board of Peace'

US president Donald Trump has named former UK prime minister Tony Blair and US secretary of state, Marco Rubio as members of his so-called "board of peace," a body which he says will oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza.

With Trump serving as chair, the seven-strong board will also include US special envoy Steve Witkoff, World Bank president Ajay Banga, and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
