Former UK UN envoy claims Blair pushed PA to remove 'Palestine' from textbooks

Former UK UN ambassador Jeremy Greenstock claimed on a podcast that former Prime Minister Tony Blair was sent by the fictional 'Board of Peace' to pressure the Palestinian Authority (PA) to remove references to 'Palestine' from school textbooks. This alleged request was supposedly aimed at facilitating peace negotiations with Israel following the October 7, 2023 attacks. Greenstock further suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to realize his father's goal of reasserting Israeli control over Judea and Samaria. A spokesperson for Blair denied these claims, calling them 'not true and a complete fabrication.' Greenstock also made other disputed assertions during the interview, including stating that Israeli forces deliberately killed aid workers from the World Central Kitchen, which contradicts official findings indicating the deaths were accidental.
