Do any of the other witnesses want to comment on that since I have one minute and a half left? If not, that is okay. I will finish on this comment.

Journalism in conflict areas is already an incredibly risky profession. People are putting their lives at risk straightaway. However, there was always that protection, or some element of protection, from international rules in terms of how journalists are treated or protected and the access they get. Clearly, with the numbers we are hearing with regard to Gaza of 108 or more dead, it has become a free-for-all. If there is no accountability, and if it is now open season on journalists with assaults, attacks, cyberattacks, surveillance, killings and murders, I do not know who is going to do it. I do not know who is going to cover these atrocities or who is going to go into conflict areas to cover these stories because it is a brave person who would do it without those protections. I want to finish by thanking those who do it and put their lives at risk, and those who have brought us the reports of the atrocities and massacres from Gaza. We really need to call for it to stop and call for a ceasefire immediately.
