US President Donald Trump hosted a policy meeting at the White House focused on the ongoing war in Gaza, with input from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Middle East envoy Jared Kushner. The session addressed critical issues such as food aid, the hostage crisis, and post-war plans for Gaza, though officials described it as a routine policy discussion. Blair has been actively working on a post-war strategy, engaging regional stakeholders and collaborating with Kushner and other officials. While Trump has expressed a desire for the conflict to end quickly, he continues to support Israel's military plans, which may prolong the fighting and complicate hostage negotiations. The administration has faced challenges in delivering promised aid and remains opposed to phased hostage deals, aligning closely with Israel's approach.
