I want to come back to the question of the situation regarding Israel and the criminalisation of six human rights organisations. They are all vocal international groups. They have been to forums such as the EU, the UN and the International Criminal Court to push for accountability and justice. This move by Israel is absolutely abhorrent. The Minister cannot reply within a minute, but I want to ask if he would be prepared to discuss and debate this in the Dáil next week. We should have at least a two-hour debate on this matter, particularly as it relates to a serious move on the part of Israel to clamp down on human rights in Palestine. I do not think the Minister's previous response was strong enough.
