	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>Following US cuts in 2018, the international community was able to step up and meet the shortfall, allowing UNRWA to continue to provide essential basic services to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. However, we recognise that these refugee populations need UNRWA be on a more secure financial footing. To that end, the UK is working with UNRWA and other donors to ensure its sustainability. This includes finding further cost savings reforms, diversifying donor income, and encouraging multi-year funding commitments. The UK is a leading donor to UNRWA and I am proud to confirm that we plan to provide up to £80m to UNRWA over the next two years.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 19/03/2019 16:26:52 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>We encourage both Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to take steps that rebuild trust and improve dialogue and communication which is crucial for negotiations to succeed. But whilst we and partners are doing all we can, ultimately peace will only come through fresh negotiations between the parties. The UK’s longstanding policy on reconciliation between the PA and Hamas is clear. We support the Palestinian people in realising self-determination through an independent, sovereign, and unified Palestinian state, in the West Bank and Gaza. We welcome Egyptian efforts to facilitate the return of the legitimate PA to Gaza, including enabling the recent PA Ministers’ visit to Gaza. We encourage those involved in the process to engage in good faith, allowing the PA to fully resume its government functions in Gaza, and ensuring compliance with the Quartet Principles.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 17/10/2017 15:33:00 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>There is an urgent need to address the troubling situation in Gaza. I visited Gaza on 21 August and saw the extent of this firsthand. Ultimately, Hamas' decision to embrace violence and reject the Quartet Principles lies at the heart of the Gazan tragedy. We need a durable agreement that addresses the underlying causes of the conflict and transforms the situation in Gaza.</p><p>We welcome the steps that Israel has taken to ease some restrictions. However, we want to see Israel go much further and we are continuing to call on Israel to do so. We continue to stress to the Israeli authorities the damage that their restrictions are doing to the living standards of ordinary Palestinians in Gaza and that supporting legal trade for Gazans is firmly in Israel's long-term interests.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 17/10/2017 15:31:02 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
