I thank the Minister for his detailed opening statement. At the outset, I would like to recognise the efforts the Tánaiste is making regarding the Middle East, most recently, at the Foreign Affairs Council. He is due to travel there again shortly.

In relation to the Israel-Palestine situation, the Tánaiste outlined in detail the numbers of engagements, both formal and informal, he has had, but can he expand on any concrete steps that will be taken to hold Israel accountable for violations of international law?
