From the Global Philanthropy Forum: Tony Blair Urges Global Funders to Make Nice with Government - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly

From the Global Philanthropy Forum: Tony Blair Urges Global Funders to Make Nice with Government - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: "April 23, 2015; NPQ Original Reporting

In his presentation to the participants in the Global Philanthropy Forum, and in the interview of him by GPF CEO Jane Wales, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair didn’t raise, much less discuss, his role as the official representative of “the Quartet” (consisting of the United Nations, the European Union, the U.S., and Russia) charged with trying to guide Israel and Palestine to a two-state solution, with his personal function focusing on “spearhead[ing] transformative economic change” in the West Bank and Gaza. Nor did he veer into remarks about his enthusiastic support of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, nor an analysis of what it has done to disrupt chances for peace in the Middle East."
