Britain’s former prime minister, Tony Blair, is taking a new role in combatting anti-Semitism in Europe, days after stepping down as the international community’s Mideast envoy.

Blair revealed on Thursday that he will chair the European Council on ‘Tolerance and Reconciliation’, a group which champions legislation and dialogue on tolerance.

Blair quit last week, leaving a post that had begun with great hope but which struggled to deliver in its quest to promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
