27104 (2025). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: What is the Minister's position on the Israeli Government's actions in Gaza?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: New Zealand has been consistent in its messaging that military action needs to end now. The 7 October attacks were abhorrent, and we have condemned them unequivocally and called for the release of all hostages. However Israel’s ongoing and disproportionate response, including the two-month blockade on humanitarian assistance, is completely unacceptable.
