We are doing a lot. We are doing a lot on every platform on which we have a voice, including the UN Security Council. Today we are hosting in New York a meeting of other UN Security Council members on the protection of journalists. As the Deputy knows, this has been triggered by the killing of a journalist in the West Bank. We will continue to use our voice in the EU and at the UN Security Council, the UN Human Rights Council and the Council of Europe, whose Presidency we will hold for the next six months, to raise these issues bilaterally with Israel directly and also in appropriate international platforms.
