Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what support her Department has provided for projects encouraging peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis in the last three years.

DFID has allocated £3 million for a three year (2017-2020) people-to-people programme which brings together Palestinians and Israelis to build support for a just and peaceful political solution. The programme will facilitate interaction between youth leaders, religious communities and strengthen co-operation in the health sector. DFID has not funded any other people-to-people programmes within the last 3 years.
