Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E kiia ana kei te whakamahere a Tony Blair ki te whakarere i tana tūranga hei karere mo te rangimarie i te Middle East. Kei te hoki whakamuri a Tony Blair mai i tana tūranga hei karere mo te rangimarie i te Middle East, i ripoatahia inanahi. Ko te kaiārahi o mua o te mahi te karere mo te Middle East Quartet mo nga kaipakihi rongo <unk> te UN, te EU, Russia me te US <unk> mai i tana wehenga mai hei Pirimia i te tau 2007. Engari i kī te Financial Times e whakamahere ana ia ki te "huringa ki muri" mai i te mahi, i roto i tētahi nekehanga ka taea te whakapuaki i tēnei wiki. Kei te haere ia ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ki te "whakahou" i tana tūranga i a ia e whai wāhi tonu ana ki te tukanga rongo. E mōhiotia ana kua hui te Pirimia o mua ki a John Kerry, te Hekeretari o Amerika, me Federica Mogherini, te tumuaki kaupapa here o waho o te EU, hei matapaki i tētahi huringa mahi pea. Ka whai ake te nekehanga i ngā marama o te āwangawanga mō ngā tūtakitanga o ngā painga i waenganui i te tūranga o Mr Blair i roto i ngā kōrero rangimarie i te Middle East me ōna mahi pakihi. E ai ki ngā pūtake ki te FT kua mōhio a Mr Blair kua kore e taea te pupuri i tana tūranga rangimarie. Ka puta te nekehanga i waenga i te koretake o te US me te EU mo ona hononga kino ki nga rangatira o te Mana Whakahaere o Palestine me nga paanga pakihi. I kii nga kaitono nui ki te pepa ko Mr Blair i whakawatea mai i te tuunga. "Kua roa te wā", te kī a tētahi i whakamōhio ki ngā kōrero. <unk>Kāore ia i whai hua i tēnei mahi. Kāore he pono ki a ia i tēnei wāhanga o te ao.<unk> Ko tētahi atu tangata e tata ana ki te whakahaere a Obama i mea: <unk>Kāore a Tony Blair i te taonga, i te taumahatanga rānei, engari kāore e taea te mahi i tana tūranga o nāianei.<unk> Kāore a Mr Blair i whakapuaki i tētahi o ana kiritaki, engari kei roto i ēnei ko ngā whenua pēnei i Peru, Colombia, Kuwait, Vietnam me Kazakhstan. Ko tana raarangi umanga e whakaatu ana i a PetroSaudi, he kamupene hinu me nga hononga ki te whanau kingi o Saudi, te umanga tahua JPMorgan me Mubadala, he tahua taonga a Abu Dhabi. I whakakahoretia e tētahi rangatira nui o te uru e mōhio ana ki te Quartet, kāore i puta he "ngā kaha ki te pana atu i a Blair i tana tūranga o nāianei". E mōhiotia ana ko ngā whakataunga katoa e hiahiatia ana...
Ko te kaiārahi mahi o mua te karere mai i tana wehenga mai hei Pirimia. Engari ka hoki atu ia i te tūranga i muri i ngā tau e waru e ai ki ngā pūtake. Ko te nekehanga e whai ake nei i nga marama o te awangawanga mo nga raruraru o te painga.
