Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Ms. Martin, you've touched on something I'm very interested in, which is the threat to Israel.

Given the instability in Syria and their dependence on Iran for their arms--and oil too, I think--I wonder if you could comment on the oil coming in. What is their level of dependence on oil from Iran, and can you expand any more on the threat to Israel and what that looks like in the geopolitical sense?
