I welcome that and thank Mr. Madouros for acknowledging that the questioning in this committee, including my own, has led to this. This is a positive outcome and the Central Bank needs to be acknowledged in relation to that. It is to be hoped the NTMA will follow suit and divest from the rest of its holdings in companies involved in the occupied territories. However, it leads me to the issue of the war bonds being sold through the Central Bank. Do the witnesses acknowledge Israel is calling these war bonds, advertising them as war bonds and asking people to support the war effort? It is on their website. I can show to the witnesses that these are war bonds. Do the witnesses acknowledge these bonds are primarily to fund the war, or at least that is how Israel is advertising them?
