I thank the Deputy. As he said, today is Nakba Day. Israel marks its Independence Day and Palestine marks its Nakba Day. Both events are commemorated today. These dates serve as a reminder of the deep historical complexity that surrounds the current conflict. As I said earlier, the Tánaiste said this morning that we are going to recognise the state of Palestine by the end of this month. We are working across Europe with our colleagues. We make every effort we can. We continually call for an immediate and sustainable humanitarian ceasefire.
