Subject: "Middle East Peace Negotiator" Blair Will Live in a
Zionist Palace in Israel
Blair under fire over plans to
move into Jerusalem palace

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert greets Tony Blair, left, in his
Jerusalem residence last year
Tony Blair was accused of having delusions of grandeur as it
emerged he may base himself in a Jerusalem palace for his role as
Middle East envoy.
The former premier has been looking at an imposing, historic
edifice with a ballroom, fragrant gardens and a wonderful view of
the golden dome of the city's al-Aqsa mosque <<the site where
orthodox Jews expect to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem>> .
Built in 1931, the house was once the home of Britain's first High
Commissioner to Palestine <<Zionist Jew M.P., Lord Samuel>> . Today
it serves as the UN's Middle East HQ.
Critics said Blair's job as envoy of the so-called Quartet of
Middle East mediators - the EU, UN, U.S. and Russia - did not merit
such opulence.
Abdelbari Atwan, editor of the London newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi,
said: 'He's not a president. He's not a prime minister. He's not
even a minister.
'He's just representing a quartet, which is a very small job. So
why should he have a lavish residence? It would look very bad.'
Mr Blair's aides confirmed he hoped to use offices in the building
but denied he planned to make it his residence.
He is making his first trip to the region in his new role today and
will spend at least a week a month in the Middle East from
September. But he has not chosen where to live.
The building's UN status would make it a good base because of its
neutrality in the conflict.
Gerald Butt, editor of the authoritative Middle East Economic
Survey, said: 'Choosing where to base is a very sensitive issue in
that it reflects the sensitivity of the whole crisis.'
Critics warned that living in luxury while many Palestinians
struggle in squalor would only inflame anger over Mr Blair's
appointment.
