I agree with the Tánaiste's comments on the West Bank. The West Bank is clearly of huge concern. It is not in the public eye as much because, understandably, people are focused on what is happening - the slaughter in the Gaza Strip. I understand that this morning at rush hour, two gunmen jumped out of a car in Jerusalem, opened fire and killed three people. I think the Tánaiste referenced that. Three civilians were killed and many others were wounded. Yesterday in the West Bank, two Palestinian children were murdered, one of whom was just nine years of age. It is painfully clear that it is innocent Palestinian and Israeli children who are paying the price for the crimes of Hamas and the Israeli Government. A ceasefire is really important but it does not seem as though the EU really believes in a ceasefire and a settlement when you contrast its actions against Russia and its actions against Israel.
