That is okay. Mr. Makhlouf has answered that he is not willing or able or does not have the necessary qualifications to call out genocide at this time. I will leave it that.
On the risk, if I was an investor in Israeli war bonds - and I am going to use the term "Israeli war bonds" because that is how they are marketed - would it not be a risk for me that there is what is deemed a plausible case with regard to the breach of the Genocide Convention? Would that be a risk? Would the Central Bank view that as a risk to investors?
