The final statement of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee to Coordinate International Aid to the Palestinian People (AHLC Donors’ Meeting) said that “prospects for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remain far-fetched, and the building of the Palestinian state cannot be completed until a political solution to the conflict is reached and an end to the occupation.”
