The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told.
by Gunnar Larson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Art Director/Designer/Photographer: Bert Steinhauser Copywriter: Frada Sklar Wallach Client: El Al Isreal Airlines The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told. Thousands of years ago, in the Sea of Galilee, there was a tasty little fish known as chromis simonis. The 'Big Fisherman' himself is said to have caught it. So it was named St. Peter's fish, after him. The name stuck to the fish and the fish stuck to the Galilee. The wonder is that it hasn't changed since Peter's day. Restau- rants all over Israel serve it and in Tiberias it's a specialty. If you like, you can hook your own 'St. Peter' in the Sea of Galilee. Or fish for other fish in other waters. The seas runneth over with prizes. In Eilat, there's even a famous restaurant that will cook your catch right on the spot. While the fish is grilling, you can be bak- ing on a nearby beach. Telling your own fish story. Or just watching the snorkelers watching the fish. If you're a meat and potatoes man, or lady, you won't go hungry. How about barbecued lamb with hummus (ground chickpeas) or home-cooked chicken soup with noodles or boiled beef with curry or very good goulash? And don't worry about getting fat. Places like ancient Sodom, King Solomon's Mines, Massada, The Tomb of Absalom, Mt. Tabor and Capernaum are scattered from one end of Israel to the other. You'll need some extra food to keep up your strength. To get you off to a good start, El Al will land you at Tel Aviv with a few hearty meals under your belt. Including a breakfast of bagels and cream cheese and lox. Then we'll add a warm Shalom. There'll be nothing fishy about that. EL AL The airline of the people of Isreal.

‘Homework’ for the sector: And so the longer you can have a 0.5% budget, the better prepared you are for 0.3%, and the less painful cuts you have to make.”
by Gunnar Larson 19 Mar '25

*‘Homework’ for the sector* Unlike in the U.S., where Trump’s aid cuts came down like a hammer, planned cuts in the U.K. are slated to be implemented between now and 2027 — which could provide enough time, some experts say, to cushion the blow. “The U.K.’s commitments to multilaterals and everywhere has been predicated on having a 0.5% budget,” said Ian Mitchell of the Center for Global Development <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09r6AsV78-YGUoxhCCjYKknpk9eABsicV…> at a recent Devex Pro event <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POt41tdyMbNGeqR-DGng5pDvqikfPSFqd…>. “And so *the longer you can have a 0.5% budget, the better prepared you are for 0.3%*, and the less painful cuts you have to make.” <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POt41tdyMbNGeqR-DGng5pDvqikfPSFqd…> Mitchell also pointed out that the United Kingdom spends an unusually large portion of its aid budget <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POg0jpby__zw7tZ9Bq4FXW7v_CrEBr_oo…> housing refugees inside the country. *Reducing spending on in-donor refugee costs* — or simply taking the money from somewhere other than the aid budgets — *could go a long way* toward boosting overseas spending, Devex Business Editor David Ainsworth writes. Romilly Greenhill of Bond <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09rz-QFh0UDHzHQTuKPT9Y_AD5ysDh0mi…> said the development community should also use this time to better sell itself. “If you talk to the public about, do you want to spend on aid, they generally say no,” Greenhill said. “But if you ask, do you want children to be vaccinated, women to have family planning, kids to go to school, conflict to be prevented, nature and climate to be protected? More of them say yes.” “That’s something for us to think about: *Are we talking to the public in the right ways?*” she added. “It’s a bit of homework for us in the sector to be honest.” *Watch the full event recording:* UK aid cuts — 6 things left to fight for <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POt41tdyMbNGeqR-DGng5pDvqikfPSFqd…>

Second guessing: Last year, Germany was quite the generous giver, with nearly $38 billion in aid. But the winds are changing, and over €3 billion might get slashed from future budgets.
by Gunnar Larson 19 Mar '25

Second guessing The world’s second-biggest aid donor, Germany, could take the lead after some hefty cuts in the United States. *But post-election vibes suggest that Germany might tighten its purse strings too*, with whispers of cuts and a shift toward “national interest.” Last year, Germany was quite the generous giver, with *nearly $38 billion in aid*. But the winds are changing, and *over €3 billion might get slashed* from future budgets. The recent shift to the right in elections might bring a mix of the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democrats to the table <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POjqaE1OeEFWxM7mfkEDZpzTZnlTziBWR…>, but with CDU calling the shots. They’re eyeing areas such as migration management and international trade for their aid focus, Devex contributor Jessica Abrahams writes. Friedrich Merz, likely the chancellor, isn’t playing around. He’s hinting at *cutting off aid to countries that don’t cooperate on migration* and wants to ensure every aid penny serves German interests. Furthermore, the far-right Alternative for Germany party, now a big player in Parliament, is shaking things up, pushing to slash funds on what they label as “woke” initiatives. Despite not being in the government, its ideas are making waves, influencing policies such as migration. If Germany does become the world’s top aid donor, it’ll be the first time it’s held the top spot since 1960. Keep your eyes on a couple of key players, the BMZ <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09r7y6xlpn_tRaw54kCfUjnX_9Qpj6-LG…> and the AA <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09r05_OCXGfJJWTXIR5m4lV_vwkPWPuW0…>, which together* disbursed nearly 58% of the country’s total aid in 2022*. The BMZ oversees the lion’s share, including two major implementing bodies: the GIZ and KfW. Despite some cutbacks, BMZ’s 2024 budget still clocked in at a chunky €11.2 billion, with a strong focus on bilateral cooperation and significant contributions to multilateral efforts such as the World Bank <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09r5lUdiAizG0dlipB0-Nh4F25VzdxTJ3…> and United Nations <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09r_1-WOfjGSn5evkunplCQmXa9RrceF_…>. Devex analyst Miguel Antonio Tamonan takes a look at exactly where that money went <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POgJqRxV1u0-osGFxrLP7yZis5fIqmt1x…>, giving clues as to who might have a chance of winning some of it in the future. *Read:* Funding cuts and culture wars — what the German election means for aid <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POjqaE1OeEFWxM7mfkEDZpzTZnlTziBWR…> <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09rycm-rD__OUetcjnToKvx_q4uqdkH5m…> *Read more:* Is Germany the next leader in ODA, and how will it spend its money? <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POgJqRxV1u0-osGFxrLP7yZis5fIqmt1x…> <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZTQ09rycm-rD__OUetcjnToKvx_q4uqdkH5m…>
