Okay, but at this point neither the legislation nor the Minister is explicitly ruling out investments by the fund - or is he? - in companies that might help sustain the illegal occupation of Palestine or sustain, underpin or co-operate with Israeli apartheid. He is not telling us that this is definitely going to be the case, to be clear. Obviously, we would consider tabling amendments if he is not, or we might anyway. Why would we not exclude something quite specific such as sustaining an illegal occupation or contributing to a system of apartheid?
