I raise the issue of the West Bank. While the eyes of the world are understandably focused on Gaza, the horror that is anticipated there and, indeed, the apparent green light the Americans have given through the use of their veto, people are not looking at the West Bank and there has been a huge increase in the number of attacks on Palestinians and their properties there. Is there a role for the Irish representative office there in recording and documenting this? Is there an increased role for the EU office and would the Taoiseach propose to increase support for either to record what is happening in the West Bank so that it can be tackled and dealt with in tandem, of course, with the focus he has brought to Gaza? I support him in what he is doing with the Spanish Premier with regard to the trade association.

I thank the Deputy. We can certainly give that consideration. I would have to talk to the Tánaiste about it as it is, ultimately, his budget to manage rather than mine. However, we have increased funding for UNRWA, of which the Deputy will be aware. That was an important signal. Other countries suspended their funding. We said we were going to increase it. It is alleged that some UNRWA staff were involved in the terrorist attacks, but that should be proven. It has not been proven yet, despite what the Israeli authorities claim, and we have increased funding for the ICC to help it collect evidence on the ground. Therefore, we are certainly happy to give that consideration but I will have to speak to the Tánaiste about it.
