Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that the UK's contribution to the International Peace Fund for Israelis and Palestinians is commensurate with the scale of the conflict and reflects the UK's ambition to play a leading international role in advancing a just and lasting peace.

The UK, Australia and Canada have each committed £1 million to launch the International Peace Fund. Once operational, the Fund will seek to bring on other donors and scale up efforts. The Fund will complement diplomatic and humanitarian efforts by investing in the social and civic foundations needed for a sustainable peace and by working with partners to mobilise wider international support. We have been clear that a negotiated two-state solution is the only viable route to a just and lasting peace for both Israelis and Palestinians alike.
