Recognising Palestinian self-determination has been long overdue. It is a welcome step, yet it must be the start, not the end.
We need a ceasefire, an end to the cycle of violence and real progress towards a two-state solution.

Today's #AutumnBudget means a real-term cut for UK aid dropping from £15.3bn (0.58% of GNI) in 2023 to £13.3bn in 2024-25.
Bond's Director of Policy & Advocacy @grabinowitz said:
"The government has made the short-sighted decision to slash UK aid in the Autumn budget."

Thats’s a wrap for conference season 2024!
Thank you to all who met with us, spoke on panels with us, and partnered with us to raise global malnutrition and hunger. We’ve had a fantastic (and wet) conference season.
