The IDF would withdraw from Gaza and commit not to annex the strip if both Israel and Hamas sign the 20-point plan unveiled today.

Mr Blair, 72, was the first world leader named on the new transitional body to run Gaza apart, which Trump will chair.

This evening Blair hailed the plan as offering “the best chance of ending two years if war, misery and suffering”.

The former Labour leader and Middle East envoy is expected to take charge of the day-to-day running of the new board which will eventually hand power back to peace-loving Palestinians.

Trump said his blueprint had secured backing from the Muslim and Arab leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan and Egypt.

Hamas has yet to confirm its acceptance of the deal, which would force it to disarm and disband and end its reign of terror.

But Trump warned that Israel would be given “full US backing” to wipe out the group’s remaining fighters if they fail to heed Arab states’ pleas to comply.

Trump hailed his peace deal as a “beautiful day” and “one of the greatest days for civilisation” in a White House address alongside Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Details of Trump’s plan for peace were briefed out ahead of his press conference with Netanyahu at the White House today.
