Please, I did not interrupt the Deputy. I am just making my point. I am talking about other European countries, and many do. President Trump's involvement in that phase was critical. From an Irish, European and global perspective, we must keep focusing on a step-by-step approach and consolidating getting the second stage of the ceasefire over the line and then ensuring there is a massive surge of humanitarian aid and the reconstruction of Gaza. We have pressed very strongly for UNRWA, in particular, to be given absolute freedom of movement and action within Gaza because it is the only agency that can provide schools, medicines and various services to the Palestinian people.
If Deputy Coppinger can pass on the information to me, I certainly will pursue the matter. There is something in the back of my head in respect of why there is an issue. The Deputy was saying the young man is in Egypt. Is that correct?
