JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Less than six months after stepping down as the Middle East envoy for a quartet of world powers, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is having another go at helping forge peace in the region, although this time taking a different tack.

After eight years as the regional representative of the Quartet - the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations - during which time virtually no new ground was broken between the Israelis and Palestinians, Blair is still convinced progress on peace is possible.
