Haaretz is quoting Blair as saying [1]
"You've got to be careful of saying this is the last chance for it,...But it's hard for me to see how you're going to get a peace agreement done if the present initiative fails because if it fails things will move backwards again."
"If we lose the momentum that's been built up after the Annapolis conference and then the Paris conference where we got big international support for the Palestinians, if all of that is then squandered and drains away then I think you will find a very difficult situation indeed, so there is no alternative but to push forward and to do so with determination,"
"So far I remain cautiously optimistic that something can be done and I remain absolutely of the view that it has to be done,"
"Sure, it is absolutely possible to have a peace deal by the end of the year if people want to make it happen,"
So why is Blair taking a $1m job with JP Morgan while he is still Middle East peace envoy?
Is it so he can steer the Middle East into a situation so that he can 'advise' JP Morgan Chase how to profit from it?
Surely there is a conflict of interest in his two roles; brokering peace while working for one of the banks that has profitted enormously from world wars?
