Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: In my capacity as Prime Minister and Minister for National Security and Intelligence, I regularly receive advice from officials in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) on a range of matters relating to my portfolios. I have not received any advice from DPMC on New Zealand citizens who have volunteered for the Israeli Defense Force.
