Politics or Long-Standing Friendship? Naguib Sawiris Being Chosen as a Part of “Board Of Peace” is Raising Eyebrows!
Naguib Sawiris, the prominent Egyptian businessman, has been chosen by former UK Prime Minister (2003-2007) Tony Blair to join the “Board of Peace,” an international committee overseeing Gaza’s transition after the war.
According to The Guardian, Sawiris, who is the only Egyptian on the committee, is one of 7 to 10 suggested members appointed to help stabilize Gaza and guide its recovery.

Why Sawiris?
Reports suggest that Tony Blair’s decision to include Sawiris is largely influenced by their personal relationship, which has lasted for years.
Blair has consistently trusted Sawiris’s leadership and influence on political decisions.
Given their close bond, it’s possible that this friendship played a significant role in Sawiris’s appointment to such an important international body.
The strong connection between Tony Blair and Naguib Sawiris dates back decades, with several key moments marking their relationship:
- In 2013, Blair and Sawiris were spotted vacationing together in Italy.
- In 2014, they met on Sawiris’s luxury yacht in Saint-Tropez.
- In 2015, Blair traveled to Cairo aboard Sawiris’s private jet.
- In 2019, Sawiris hosted Blair and his family in El Gouna, Egypt.
- In 2020, Blair attended Sawiris’s son’s wedding at the Pyramids in Egypt.
These interactions underline the trust and bond between the two, suggesting that Blair’s choice to include Sawiris on the committee could stem from their personal history rather than solely professional factors.
What is the “Board of Peace”?
The “Board of Peace” is an international team designed to oversee Gaza’s post-war transition.
Chaired by US President Trump and led by Tony Blair, the committee will manage Gaza temporarily, focusing on demilitarization, rebuilding efforts, and ensuring Hamas does not take part in governance.
The goal is to stabilize the region and pave the way for long-term peace.
