00:00So I am surprised that he's been he's been given, you know, such a sort of almost carte blanche acceptance by some of the Arab countries.
00:08And I haven't heard really what Palestinians said.
00:10I noticed your your previous interview didn't didn't really answer the question about Tony Blair.
00:16But, of course, Trump would be leading the peace board that he's going to be put on.
00:23And there are presumably going to be other international figures on it.
00:27He has spent, I have to say, a lot of time in the Middle East.
00:31And he was part of that quartet group that was brought together to try and bring economic development to Palestine some years ago.
00:40Not sure that was particularly successful.
00:42But he he has been, I suppose, what you'd call a mover and a shaker in international affairs.
00:48And therefore was someone who Trump obviously he had been working himself there to get in.
00:55And he'd been meeting with Trump, I think, about a month ago about this.
00:59And in terms of Labour, I mean, he isn't a popular figure amongst former Labour people and indeed current Labour Party members.
01:10But then the Labour government at the moment, it's in the middle of their political conference at the moment.
01:16They're going through quite a difficult time.
01:18So perhaps the shine of Tony Blair being the prime minister who was seen up until the Iraq situation was seen as a very successful prime minister.
01:30Perhaps the current Labour government and Keir Starmer, the prime minister, is hoping that this will rub off on the on the current government.
