Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions she has had with the Foreign Secretary on support for the establishment of an international fund for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
We are following the progress of establishment of the International Fund for Israeli-Palestinian Peace closely. DFID’s new 3-year people-to-people programme has similar aims and will bring together individuals from both sides of the conflict to build support for a just and peaceful political solution. As a joint minister I can confirm that DFID continues to work closely with the FCO on this.
