He is just interested in lining his own pockets. He has also compromised the security of the country by allowing uncontrolled immigration and taking us into unnecessary conflicts in the middle east. Why he has not been arrested I will never know.
I was put down by quite a lot of people when commenting he was bad news in 1997. Unfortunately I was proved right.

His role was to change from being a politician to being a diplomat. It his impossible to access whether he has been a success or a failure. We do not know the state of things in the middle east if he hadn't have been given the job, they might have been worse. Equally be do not know if anyone else had been given the job, whether things would have progressed better.
I do not like Blair, and believe he has done a terrific amount of harm to the UK and other countries, but on his middle east role, it is too early and a mistake to call it a failure.

How much time do you suggest Gromet ? His main task was Palestine and Israel and that is probably worse today than when he was appointed in 2007.
He appears more interested in self aggrandisment than tackling the task.
I'm surprised he took on the job but again with his ego he possibly believed he would be the messiah that would achieve it.

Modeller,
Just looked up the fatalities, and I have changed my mind, he has been useless...

He has failed as Middle East envoy because he has no independence or originality and is just a spokesman for the US administration. The US are guilty as Israel because they insist on the status quo, no return of the land grab since 1967 and no dealings with Hamas.
Until the US stops arming Israel and a new mediator such as Russia or China or maybe even the new Egypt then nothing will change.
Personally I cannot see the need for a separate state with would be so fragmented and problematic. Why don't they all live together as one state, the Arabs get an equal share of the wealth, homes built by Israel for Arab occupation and also get seats in the Knesset where joint decisions can be made. They did this with Northern Ireland.
