The Government has been very clear, and I have been very clear, that adherence to international law is a prerequisite and an essential need and imperative. We have also increased our funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, in particular. I met other member states during the week, on Monday, bilaterally, specifically asking for additional aid for UNRWA. I spoke to the Israeli foreign minister on Monday and made it clear that we want a humanitarian pause. At the subsequent Foreign Affairs Council, FAC, meeting, significant and growing numbers of member states coming around to the view that we need a humanitarian pause. I hope that, this week, the Council will follow through on that. That is the real work. We can make all the statements we like but we have to persuade people to go in a definitive direction, and that is what we are doing at European level. It is to get people to call for a humanitarian pause to enable aid to get in. When I spoke to the Israeli foreign minister, I said we need to get fuel into Gaza. If you do not have fuel, you do not have water.
