Former PM Tony Blair flees questions about Gaza at Egypt peace summit

Sir Tony Blair sidestepped questions about a possible role in running postwar Gaza last night amid signs that Donald Trump is cooling on the idea. The former Labour prime minister was among those who queued up to shake hands in Egypt with the US president, who has spoken about him having a seat on a 'peace board'. Sir Tony appeared to win the backing of the Palestinian Authority, which runs the West Bank, after meeting its deputy chief on Sunday.
