answer text <p>The UK and EU have noted the appeal by 34 voluntary organisations for a ceasefire in Gaza. We agree with the need to implement a durable ceasefire that ensures peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis. The UK has three objectives towards the crisis in Gaza - to secure a ceasefire, to alleviate humanitarian suffering and to keep alive the prospects for peace negotiations which are the only hope of breaking this cycle of violence and devastation once and for all. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) visited the region between 23-24 July and the UK will continue to work with international partners to secure a durable ceasefire that will end the bloodshed and provide a platform for resolving the underlying causes of the conflict.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The British Government recognises the importance of building trust between Israelis and Palestinians, and supports a number of initiatives aimed at that purpose. Fostering co-existence is a key objective of our £4 million conflict pool, which is available in Israel and the Occupied Territories. The UK also supports projects through the EU, such as through the EU Partnership for Peace programme, which aims to build trust and understanding in the region in order to create the conditions for peace. The Government remains engaged with a range of non-governmental organisations in order to take forward peace-building initiatives, including those focused on building trust.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government engages with EU institutions through the relevant management committees to approve all EU expenditure in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs), and seeks to ensure that EU expenditure is targeted where it is most needed in order to maximise impact. There are currently no plans to engage in a review of the past 25 years of EU spending in the region, but past spending is reviewed in the yearly Court of Auditors Report, and the UK works closely with EU institutions to monitor the uses of EU expenditure in Israel and the OPTs.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We assess that the Arab Peace Initiative, through its offer of the normalisation of relations between Arab states and Israel in the event of a comprehensive peace agreement, is highly relevant to the stability of the Middle East. During the 3rd EU-Arab League Summit in Athens on 11 June the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Faversham and Mid Kent (Mr Robertson), reaffirmed our support for the Arab Peace Initiative as an important signal of the benefits a comprehensive peace deal would bring for the entire region.</p> more like this
