Okay. The Government raised its concern for the Middle East. In his speech, the Taoiseach said that he condemns the attacks that Israel has resumed against the people of Gaza and the ongoing attacks on the West Bank. The Government does not call it genocide. Its European partners refuse even to mention the name "Israel" when these horrific attacks are taking place, but the Taoiseach says he condemns it. I ask the Minister of State what the Government is going to do about it. As long as Israeli war bonds, which are being used to finance the horror that is being visited on the people of Gaza, continue to be sold through the Irish Central Bank, Ireland is complicit. Therefore, I ask the Minister of State whether the Government is going to do anything about that to show an example to his European colleagues who are up to their necks in complicity with this horrific action.

My second question is this. Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic just released the thread he was in with JD Vance, Peter Hegseth and the various leading figures in the Trump Administration over the missile attacks on Yemen. In it, it says "From a messaging standpoint we absolutely ad this to of horribles on why the Europeans must invest in their defense."
