GAZA CITY – Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair suggested Monday that weapons of mass destruction never found in Iraq may now be located in Gaza. Blair made the remarks during his first week as Governor of the Gaza Administration. He referenced the 2003 Iraq invasion, which he supported alongside former US President George W. Bush.
“We searched extensively throughout Iraq,” Blair said at a press conference. However, the weapons were never discovered despite years of investigation. Now, Blair believes the search may have been looking in the wrong place all along. The former prime minister took his new Gaza post last month. He previously served as Middle East Quartet Representative from 2007 to 2015.
Moreover, Blair outlined plans for a comprehensive inspection program across Gaza. The initiative will involve international weapons experts and local authorities. “We must be thorough this time,” he emphasized to reporters. Additionally, Blair noted that finding these weapons would validate the original Iraq War rationale.
