U.S. President Donald Trump led a policy meeting on Israel’s war in Gaza, with contributions from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Trump Middle East envoy Jared Kushner, according to a senior White House official.
Trump, top White House officials, Blair and Kushner were discussing all aspects of the Gaza issue, including escalating food aid deliveries, the hostage crisis, post-war plans and more, the official told Reuters on Wednesday, News.Az reports.
The official described the session as "simply a policy meeting", the type frequently held by Trump and his team.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff previewed the meeting in an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday.
"It is a very comprehensive plan we are putting together for the next day in Gaza, and many people are going to see how robust it is and how well-meaning it is, and it reflects President Trump's humanitarian motives here," Witkoff said.
Trump had promised a quick end to Israel’s war on Gaza during last year's presidential campaign, but a resolution has been elusive seven months into his second term.
