Blair Heckled in West Bank Visit

HeadlineOct 21, 2009

In other Mideast news, a Palestinian protester confronted former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Tuesday as Blair visited the West Bank city of Hebron. Blair currently serves as Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet of the European Union, the United States, Russia and the United Nations. His appointment has been criticized for his record in office, which includes launching the invasion of Iraq along with former President George W. Bush. As Blair toured a Hebron mosque, the protester approached him and called him a “terrorist.”
