Quartet Middle East envoy Tony Blair has had to call off his visit to Gaza, and Hamas would like you to know it’s Israel’s fault (naturally).
The deposed Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya said on Tuesday that Quartet Middle East envoy, Tony Blair cancelled his visit to the Gaza strip as requested by Israel ”so that he won’t see the catastrophic siege”.
Yeah, that and the fact someone threatened to kill him.
International quartet envoy Tony Blair’s planned trip to the Gaza was cancelled on Tuesday following what was described as “specific security threats” that made the visit impossible.
Blair told Ma’an that he first knew of the threats on his life yesterday evening but was still keen to go ahead with the visit. He said it was when the threats became “more specific and more credible” that he decided to cancel the trip.
No doubt, these threats were nothing more than the brainchild of Zionist operatives, designed to prevent Blair from seeing the diabolical siege in Gaza, replete with blackouts, flour shortages, and starvation.
Because as we all know, palestinians don’t kill those who they see as a threat.
