The Peace Fund will invest in programmes that advance a two-state solution, help reduce division, strengthen civil society, and support dialogue and cooperation within and between Israeli and Palestinian communities, building the foundations for peace, a joint statement between the three governments say.

The fund will seek to scale up and ​attract ​additional donors ⁠once operational.

Fund announced ahead of meeting ​in Britain between UK ​foreign ⁠minister Yvette Cooper and her Australian and Canadian ⁠counterparts, ​Penny Wong and ​Anita Anand.

    $4 million is enough to make it look like a lot money to the average person but not enough to actually do much at all. Even the most minor of domestic infrastructure projects would easily cost more than this; $4 million in today’s economy is nothing, unfortunately.

    Israel probably spends this amount per hour. Per minute during an active attack.
