I thank the ambassador for his statement. I have two questions before I bring in Deputy Smith. Reports from Israel today indicate that it may not send an envoy to Cairo to follow up on the ceasefire. Are those reports true? They are supposed to have come from Prime Minister Netanyahu. Will the ambassador comment on the statement earlier this week regarding the confiscation of 1,000 acres south of Bethlehem? Is this something to provoke Palestinians at a very sensitive time?
