Mr. Whyte is very welcome. As everyone else has, I acknowledge the good work that he and his colleagues do. I have heard what he and his team have gone through. One must be a special person and unique individual to be able to give that service to the Palestinians and the world in general. Few people have the capabilities to be able to do that. I acknowledge what UNRWA is doing.

Mr. Whyte said at the start that UNRWA is reaching out to member states. Deputy Bennett touched on an issue in her contribution. Politically, we are seeing different countries take different viewpoints as to what is happening. That is the politics side of it. From the perspective of Mr. Whyte and UNRWA, when reaching out to member states, are they getting different responses and different types of support? Which countries are going above and beyond? How challenging is that for the organisation?
