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.

    Glad that lifeline has been restored, but there is no two state with settlements and the settlements are purpose-built to not allow two states.

    This funding just seems to be about changing attitudes, and I wonder whose attitude they’ll work on changing - the oppressed or the oppressor.
