Palestine: open for business

Talks in London this morning encourage British firms to invest in the Palestinian territories.
A new Palestine Britain Business Council was established at the conference, attended by 60 Palestinian business people from East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.

Interview: Dr Mohammed Mustafa
Kylie Morris interviewed the man in charge of the Palestine Investment Fund, Dr. Mohammad Mustafa, who was at those talks with Gordon Brown today.
She asked him if he thought Palestine needed to unite its internal factions before looking for economic cooperation.
