A surprising sense of momentum runs through the UK’s latest diplomatic move, almost as if the political establishment finally caught up with what so many ordinary people have been quietly insisting for years. With public backing at levels that politicians usually only dream of, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has confirmed that she will convene the inaugural meeting of the International Fund for Israeli-Palestinian Peace this coming March at Lancaster House. The tone of the announcement felt unusually confident for a government that often treads cautiously on foreign-policy landmines, probably because the numbers make the argument for them: 84% of UK respondents who expressed an opinion support the creation of the Fund, and 87% say Britain should put in at least £5 million.

The anticipation surrounding the upcoming Meetup Policymaker 2024 is palpable. Scheduled to take place in the vibrant city of Washington, D.C., this event promises to be a groundbreaking forum for policymakers, stakeholders, and thought leaders from across the globe. The announcement has sparked considerable interest, underscoring the critical importance of this annual gathering in shaping the future of public policy. This year’s theme, “Innovating Governance,” reflects the evolving landscape of policy formulation and implementation.
