our £548 million contribution to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) - the international
initiative to support global equitable access to vaccines. We remain in close contact

to the COVID-19 pandemic. Minister Cleverly most recently discussed this issue with
the Palestinian Health Minister on 23 March 2021. We also continue to raise the importance
of timely and appropriate access to COVID-19 vaccines with the Israeli Authorities,
including through our Embassy in Tel Aviv.</p>
