This is pretty much the only thing Winny and I will ever agree on… but I heartily commend him for making this speech.
Foreign Minister Winston Peters has delivered a hard-hitting speech to the United Nations about the war in Gaza, calling it “an utter catastrophe” and accusing the Security Council of failing in its responsibility.
Peters acknowledged Israel’s “belated announcements” that it would allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza but repeated New Zealand’s grave concerns about its repeated indications that it may soon launch a military offensive into Rafah.
“Palestinian civilians must not be made to pay the price of defeating Hamas,” he said.
And he criticised Israel for expanding its illegal settlement into the occupied territories, saying “this misguided notion must end.”
