With regard to the third-party intervention to the ICJ, we can sit here day in, day out and be sickened by what we witness in Gaza. Particularly with regard to today's topic, I propose rather than just listening and being sickened by it all that the committee write to the Minister and ask her to carry out that third party intervention on behalf of the Government and state the committee would favour doing so. I hope committee members agree. At least it would be a start. If every country or government did something small such as this to initiate a response or try to get some action taken, it may well end up being worthwhile. I propose that the committee writes to the Minister and requests this intervention.
