Madam Chair, we know that one thing Israel is negotiating for is the return of the two bodies and the two civilians. Our $25 million in humanitarian assistance is intended to go to, first of all, the most pressing basic needs, such as food, water and medicines, and to funding for reconstruction and what we call peacebuilding. That is how Canada is assisting in Gaza. We think this is an important contribution that will help to stabilize things.
