We're investigating that. We're investigating. We have a criminal investigation in connection with the deaths and kidnapping of Americans in Israel on October 7, yes.

Well, if you put me in that exact box, the answer has to be yes.

I'll say what I said, which is that the cases were brought last year, prosecutor has urged speedy trials with which I agree, and this now in the hands of the traditional system, not in our hands.

I would say that there is always more applications than we have money to give out.
