Blair moving to Jerusalem !!!!

Tony Blair will be moving to Jerusalem to become the Quartet's
special peace envoy to the Middle East.
A statement released Wednesday by U.N. headquarters in New York
confirmed Blair's appointment, which was reportedly agreed upon
yesterday in Jerusalem at a meeting of the Quartet, the diplomatic
grouping made up of the United States, Russia, the European Union and
the United Nations.
As envoy, Blair is charged with mobilizing international assistance to
the Palestinians, securing support for the institutional governance
needs of the future Palestinian state, promoting Palestinian economic
development, and coordinating Quartet objectives with other countries.
“As representative, Tony Blair will bring continuity and intensity of
focus to the work of the Quartet in support of the Palestinians, within
the broader framework of the Quartet's efforts to promote an end to the
conflict in conformity with the roadmap,” the statement said. “He will
spend significant time in the region working with the parties and
others to help create viable and lasting government institutions
representing all Palestinians, a robust economy, and a climate of law
and order for the Palestinian people.”
Blair's new post will be based in Jerusalem, with a potential second
office in the West Bank, and will be assisted by a team of experts.
