Quartet representative to the Mideast Tony Blair released a statement on Monday that when Hamas changes realities in Gaza, international humanitarian aid will resume.

The former British prime minister made his remarks during a ceremony signing over funds to assist the Palestinian Authority in a $1.5 billion project towards constructing 30,000 new homes.

Blair stated that Hamas must recognize Israel�s right to exist and stop the warfare � explaining the international community is eager to bring aid to Gaza, but first, Hamas must comply with the Western community�s demands.

The Quartet is comprised of the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia.
