I have one further supplementary question regarding the two-state solution. The Israeli Government, as currently composed, has set its face against the latter. Prime Minister Netanyahu has said that something that, had somebody from the Palestinian side said it, would be a criminal offence in Britain. He said that there must be one state from the Jordan to the sea, meaning the extermination of the prospect of a Palestinian state. If a two-state solution is not possible in the context of the current Israeli Government, I understood that a centre of gravity was building to commence discussions and modelling with the Arab League to formulate a framework where a two-state solution would be developed, hopefully with moderate Israelis too, of whom there are many. Indeed, I think the majority in Israel rejects the extremism of Netanyahu. Will Ireland be part of those discussions?
