London, Sept 25 (ANI): Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has reportedly developed a personal friendship with Ofra Strauss, one of the most controversial and richest women in Israel, prompting speculations the two are having an affair.
It is also being reported that Blair's wife, Cherie, has been warned by the Israeli press to keep an eye on her husband's relationship with Strauss.
Strauss, 51, who divorced her second husband last year, had been spotted so often with Blair, who is a frequent visitor to Israel through his role as the international Middle East peace envoy.
The closeness between the duo is so obvious that a columnist from a highly respected daily Hebrew newspaper even went to the extent of writing an "open letter" to Blair's wife asking her to clarify the nature of the relationship.
"For the information of Mrs Blair," the Daily Mail quoted the letter as saying.
"Very, very quietly this weekend, the official car allocated to Tony Blair by the Quartet glided through the gates of Ofra's house, which is protected by tight security measures... all kinds of bad people have called me trying to suggest this visit had the character of a sexy conspiracy, so I'm handing the matter over to you to handle personally," he stated.
Strauss's spokesman, Rani Rahav, however, said that it was "ridiculous" for anyone to suggest there was any romantic element to her dealings with Blair.
"There was never any skin between them, never. I have never been asked such an ugly question before," Rahav said.
"She is a very close friend of both of them, but she doesn't want to talk about them,' he added. (ANI)
