<p><strong>Maan News Agency | September 28, 2011</strong></p>
<p>LONDON (Ma&#8217;an) &#8212; The senior echelons of the PLO are expected to meet in the coming days to discuss a proposal to declare Quartet envoy Tony Blair &#8220;persona non grata,&#8221; a UK newspaper reported Wednesday.</p>
<p>The Telegraph said PLO officials were predicting unanimous support for a motion intended to isolate the former prime minister to such an extent that his position would become untenable.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have been extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with Mr Blair&#8217;s performance since he became envoy, but particularly in the past few weeks,&#8221; a senior Palestinian official told the London-based daily.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no one within the Palestinian leadership that supports or likes or trusts Tony Blair, particularly because of the very damaging role he played during our UN bid,&#8221; a second official was quoted as saying.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is considered persona non grata in Palestine. Although we can&#8217;t prevent him from coming here, we can hopefully minimise the role he can play because he is not a mediator, he is totally biased on one side.”</p>
