I want to extend the question by asking about the remarks in recent days by the Israeli President and Foreign Minister in respect of the current crisis and Ireland's position. They are difficult to understand. Is it not the case that what we have looked for is a humanitarian ceasefire, adherence to international humanitarian law and respect for fundamental human rights by state and non-state actors? We have highlighted the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza and the number of civilian casualties, including many children. We have rightly called for the release of all the hostages held by Hamas and other militant groups. Is Ireland also advocating for a renewed political process to bring about peace and security in the region?
