New Zealand PM: Israel’s planned occupation of Gaza 'utterly unacceptable'
New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says Israel's leader Benjamin Netanyahu has lost the plot as the country weighs up whether to recognize a Palestinian state.
Luxon told reporters that the lack of humanitarian assistance, the forceful displacement of people, and the annexation of Gaza were utterly appalling and that Netanyahu had gone way too far.
Luxon said earlier this week that New Zealand was considering whether to recognize a Palestinian state. Close ally Australia on Monday joined Canada, the UK, and France in announcing it would do so at a UN conference in September.
Ahead of Wednesday's parliamentary session, a group of protesters gathered outside the country's parliament buildings, beating pots and pans and chanting MPs grow a spine, recognize Palestine.
