“Through this new partnership with the British Government, Palestinian graduate students are already contributing to world-leading research at the Hebrew University, and we are delighted to have them with us. This program not only advances science, but through it sends a message of hope and friendship, and of the importance of working together to find solutions that improve the health of our communities.” (Professor Menahem Ben-Sasson, President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, on two new research programmes in which the UK government will work with Israeli and Palestinian scientists on water and health issues, 20/07/2016)
