Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the region as the new envoy for the "Quartet" of Mideast mediators hoping to add new momentum to fledgling peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians.

Blair arrives at a time when the Palestinian uprising has fizzled out and Israel has indicated its readiness to work with the new Palestinian leadership after seven years of stalemate.

But critics say. How can the man who brought havoc to Iraq/refused to condemn Israel last summer/rode shotgun with Bush for so long etc, possibly be a plausible peacemaker now?
