Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what support her Department is providing to coexistence projects in Israel-Palestine.

Our people to people programme aimed to foster cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians on issues that can have a positive impact on both communities and build understanding between people on both sides of the conflict, helping build support for a peaceful, negotiated resolution. This programme ended in March 2020.

The programme’s research component will analyse the impact of people-to-people work, building an evidence base which will inform any future work in this area.
