I thank the Minister of State. We are dealing with this legislation in the context of an ongoing war in Ukraine. Unfortunately, it is difficult because Russia is not listening and the sanctions have not yet had the desired impact in regard to Russia's activities. We also have another almighty war in the Middle East, in Palestine. Does the Minister of State support a similar type of support package coming from the European Union to support the people of Gaza and Palestine to rebuild their economy, country, lives and livelihoods when, hopefully, please God, we enter into some type of a lasting ceasefire and a peace process emerges from that?
