The Government has been very consistent in being a voice for restraint in this conflict. We are not at all, in any way, satisfied with what we are witnessing. It is appalling. The bombing of civilian areas in Gaza is simply not acceptable and must come to an end. We have joined the international calls for a ceasefire. Mediation efforts are under way. We urge all parties to become involved and come to the table to find a resolution. The specific issue of ISIF falls under my Department's remit. I will examine that specific issue and come back to the Deputy directly.
