I thank the Senator for that. It is important that we have a twin-track approach and that we try to bring European countries with us but as the Senator says, there is an opportunity to show legal and moral leadership on that and I totally agree with that.
I thank Mr. O’Neill for his very powerful testimony. I know Christian Aid has been involved in Palestine, in the West Bank, for many years. Can he give an indication of the lived experience of Palestinians and those in the West Bank who have been dealing with the consequences of Israeli settlements for a long time? How has it impacted on their lives?
