Blair and Kushner meet with Trump to discuss the plan for the day after in Gaza.

The American Axios website revealed on Wednesday that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, held a meeting about Gaza at the White House on Wednesday, where they presented ideas for a post-war plan to President Trump, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The meeting also included discussions on how to increase the flow of aid to Gaza, which is facing famine.

According to Axios, they discussed with the president how the "day after" plan for Gaza would be a key element in any diplomatic initiative to end a war that has claimed the lives of more than 62,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, over two years of conflict.

The site noted that rebuilding a completely devastated sector and designing a political and security structure that all parties can coexist with would be extremely difficult.

Sources informed the site that the former British Prime Minister and Trump's son-in-law and former advisor intend to discuss ideas on how to manage Gaza without Hamas's control.

According to the site, "President Trump has expressed his desire to end the war, and he wants peace and prosperity for everyone in the region. The White House has no additional information to share regarding the meeting at this time," a White House official stated before the meeting.

It is noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has an arrest warrant issued against him for war crimes, is facing pressure from protesters and the Israeli military leadership to accept a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange agreement instead of continuing his plan to expand the military operation.

The site states: "The post-war plan, coordinated with the White House, could provide him with political cover to accept a ceasefire, presenting it as a broader deal to remove Hamas from power."

White House envoy Steve Witkoff stated to Fox News on Tuesday that Trump would hold an "expanded meeting" regarding Gaza on Wednesday.

Witkoff said: "It is a very comprehensive plan we are putting together for the day after (in Gaza), and many will see how precise and well-intentioned it is, reflecting President Trump's humanitarian motives here." He added that the White House believes the war could end by the end of the year.

Witkoff has been discussing the post-war plan for Gaza with Kushner and Blair for several months, according to Axios sources.

Blair met with Witkoff at the White House last July on the same day Netanyahu met with Trump, according to sources.

A few days later, Blair met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and briefed him on the proposals for the day after Gaza and his discussions in Washington. Kushner also visited Israel earlier this month and met with Netanyahu to discuss Gaza.

It is noted that Blair is close to Netanyahu and his closest advisor Ron Dermer, who is responsible for Israeli planning for the post-war period. Dermer arrived in Washington before the Wednesday meeting and met with senior White House officials.

Blair, Dermer, and UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed worked on a joint post-war plan for Gaza during the Biden administration. Ultimately, the Biden administration incorporated aspects of it into a plan presented by then-Secretary of State Tony Blinken publicly less than a week before he left office.

American officials stated that Trump's meeting on Gaza on Wednesday also focused on an American plan for humanitarian aid to Gaza.

An American official told Axios: "It expands the food plan, the quantity, the method of distribution, and the number of people who can receive assistance." The official added that Trump's instructions are: "Fix this situation."

It is noted that the crisis in Gaza has been a secondary concern for Trump recently, after the Russian-Ukrainian war. However, while he does not want to "bear" responsibility for the crisis, he has told his aides that it needs to be resolved.

Trump told his team members: "I can't watch it (the scenes from Gaza) anymore. It's terrible."

Netanyahu, who is wanted for criminal charges, agreed to a plan for a new attack to invade and occupy the city of Gaza. The operation started slowly but is expected to escalate over the next two weeks as more Palestinian civilians are displaced from the area. According to Axios, which claims that Trump does not oppose the operation, he has even supported it for Netanyahu.

An American official said: "At some point, the president believes Netanyahu will do what he will do. Can you speed it up so we can intervene and save people?"

According to experts, a large-scale Israeli military operation in Gaza will take at least several months and will lead to more casualties, injuries, destruction, and hunger for Palestinian civilians.
