27167 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Space: What impact, if any, has the announcement that New Zealand has joined 23 other countries and the European Union in calling for Israel to allow a full resumption of aid into Gaza had on launch policy regarding payloads that might benefit Israel?

Hon Judith Collins: The announcement has had no impact on policy regarding payloads that might benefit Israel. National interest for payload permit applications under the Outer Space and High-altitude Activities Act 2017 is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
