I did reply. I said that in the European Council we will be consistent in our view, as we have been. We have a very strong track record in supporting de-escalation. I spoke about what we are doing through the UN General Assembly. I also spoke about holding Israel to account. I am pointing out what the Irish State is continuing to do. That is our political arm and the forum for it is at the European Council.
