Blair: Netanyahu Can Be a Peacemaker 'Quartet emissary Tony Blair on Thursday offered a strong endorsement of Binyamin Netanyahu's capacity to achieve peace, backing the prime minister's focus on fostering West Bank economic growth and bolstering the Palestinians' security capacity.

But "we are far more likely to avoid confrontation if we are absolutely clear and plain, right from the beginning, with no ambiguity, that they cannot have a nuclear weapons capability".'
