Australian Senator says Blair should be ‘on trial’, not part of Gaza plan

Australian Senator David Shoebridge, a member of the Greens party, has joined others in voicing incredulity that former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is tipped to have a role in Trump’s plan to end Israel’s war on Gaza. Blair has been named by Trump as a member of a proposed “board of peace” for the governance of post-war Gaza. “Tony Blair’s only role in the Middle East should be as a defendant, on trial for commencing the illegal and disastrous Iraq war that destroyed millions of lives,” Shoebridge said in a post on social media.
