We will continue to articulate a principled position. We have done so all the way through. We recognise that what occurred on 7 October was horrific. We recognise that Hamas is an organisation which is dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel. We recognise that they are still holding hostages. Similarly, we recognise that, in affirming Israel's right to defend itself, we also emphasise the importance of international law. (Time expired)
