Outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair won't be unemployed for very long. The diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East--the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia--have decided to name Blair as their special envoy to Palestine.
His job will be to help Palestine build up governmental infrastructures, and to aid the divided Palestinian Authority on questions of law. His role will probably be expanded later.
Blair's proven diplomatic skills will serve him well in his new position. Hopefully he'll be able to help Palestine's government evolve into a strong government that helps and represents all Palestinians.
