I am aware of the incident to which the Deputy refers. Although no specific representations were made in respect of this incident, the Israeli authorities were aware of the concerns of the international community concerning the facilitation of the election campaign. The EU's election observation mission has concluded that the conduct of the election was generally satisfactory, a judgment with which I would concur. Although I would share the concern, which has been expressed about incidents such as this one, I am satisfied that it did not affect the outcome of the election.
