I have a number of questions on the coverage of the genocide in Gaza but there is not enough time. Recently, RTÉ reported an address in Italian by the new Pope in which he called for the release of all hostages. In RTÉ's commentary, this was amended to the release of all Israeli hostages. That is a change in language. My question is on whether the witnesses can assure us that RTÉ does not comply with the Israeli military censor. To get the right to operate in Israel, organisations must comply fully with the Israeli military censor. If we have to do that, there should be a health warning on any report coming from Israel, which does not happen.
