answer text <p>As part of our efforts to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and find a solution to the problems of Iraq and Syria we are encouraging cooperation and engaging with countries across the region. On 10 November the UK convened a meeting of the Core Group of the Friends of Syria which includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. We reaffirmed our commitment to a genuine political transition in co-operation with the UN Special Envoy; supporting the National Coalition to deliver services and protect the Syrian people; and strengthening measures against the Syrian regime including restricting its access to oil and military hardware. Alongside Foreign Ministers from the region, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), attended an international conference on peace and security in Iraq in Paris in September 2014. We continue to encourage governments throughout the region to support Prime Minister al-Abadi in his efforts to promote inclusive governance and advance the national reconciliation process. <br><br>Iran has an important role to play in the region and we have an ongoing dialogue on regional issues as part of our engagement via non-resident Chargé d’Affaires. The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), also discussed regional issues with President Rouhani on 24 September 2014. In Iraq, Iran’s support for the new government is welcome, as is its effort to promote more inclusive governance for all Iraqis. We are open to discussing Syria with Iran and raise the issue in our contacts with them. Iran can and must play a constructive role.</p>

answer text <p>The Government currently supports a range of projects in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories which involve both Israeli and Palestinian implementing partners. Whilst the projects currently being funded do not necessarily have a specific objective of bringing Israelis and Palestinians together, or constitute ‘joint’ projects as such, much of the work our implementers do involve Israelis and Palestinians working together. Our Conflict Prevention programme includes a focus on supporting and strengthening constituencies for peace. This includes support to train Palestinian doctors in Israeli hospitals; fostering people-to-people relations between the two communities, promoting coexistence and confidence building, whilst building the capabilities of the Palestinian healthcare system.</p> more like this
