If true, it’s another scoop from Inner City Press: the UN Development Programme (UNDP) will be funding Tony Blair’s office — reportedly on the top floor of the legendary and supposedly luxurious American Colony Hotel in East Jerusalem:
“Back on August 24, Inner City Press had asked [UN Spokesperson] Ms [Michele] Montas how and by whom is Tony Blair’s office funded, as the envoy of the Quartet. Ms. Montas said she would find out, but by Wednesday afternoon, nothing had been provided. So Inner City Press asked Ban’s outgoing Special Coordinator for the Middle East, Michael Williams. It’s out of some trust fund,” Williams said. Inner City Press asked, “Administered by the UN Department of Political Affairs?” Mr. Williams looked off-camera and asked a staffer. The answer? The UN Development Program.”

Tony Blair’s offices at the American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem are scheduled to open on 4 September, according to Israeli press reports.
On a visit to the American Colony Hotel — listed as a member of the “Leading Hotels of the World” yesterday, I was shocked and horrified to observe a HUGE enormous water bug in the corner of a stall of the ladies room. I was hoping it might have been dead — done in by vigilant extermination efforts — but no, I discovered when I moved — it was very much alive.
