As it is my first opportunity to question the Tánaiste as the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, I would like to congratulate him on taking on that role. I look forward to our engagement over the next while.

I will start off our questions with a question on foot of the new Israeli Prime Minister, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, taking office in an extreme right-wing Government. Unfortunately, we have seen a continuation of inflammatory language and, worse still, over 35 Palestinians being killed since the start of this year.
