New Zealand has decided against recognising Palestinian statehood at this stage, maintaining its long-standing “when, not if” position.
Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters told the UN General Assembly that with Hamas controlling Gaza and no clear pathway forward, there is not yet a viable and legitimate Palestinian state.
Cabinet rejected conditional recognition in favour of caution, citing risks of empowering Hamas or entrenching Israeli intransigence.
Peters stressed New Zealand’s commitment to a two-state solution but said recognition must wait until conditions improve, including Hamas disbanding, disarming and releasing hostages.
While acknowledging other nations’ “good intentions,” Peters warned early recognition had only hardened positions.
Alongside this stance, New Zealand pledged an additional $10m in humanitarian aid for Gaza, reaffirming its calls for a ceasefire, adherence to international law, and an end to Israeli settlement expansion.
Gutless no balls typical of these puppets.
New Zealand will remain a US colony as long as people keep voting mainstream and given the truly moronic comments excusing this awful decision, I don’t hold out much hope that things will change here, anytime soon.
Winston, you just wrote your epitaph, you ******* ***-**** ******
“New Zealand pledged an additional $10m in humanitarian aid for Gaza”. Is that code for Israel Peters.
Why I have ALWAYS driven a Ford vehicle!!!

Time for the garden to be weeded
And the Jews gone
The tares that grow among the wheat
The serpent seed of Genesis 3:15
Masquerading as Israel

Great answer. We do not support terrorist! Unlike the Green commie party.
Shell, goand sit down and read some history, for crying out loud! Things are not black or white…or green.
OMG please stay home next election…….
Coward
Good stance…
Good work Winstone.
Luxon Winston Cabol are zionist agents in any way. Luxon publically claimed war criminal witch Madeleine Albright as his peer in politics.
NZ is one of the States that have recognised Kosovo as independent. Do Kosovo has any legitamacy or viability? Madeleine Albright instigated NATO’s illegal war created the rougue province Kosovo. Therer are more UN member States recognised Palestinian state than Kosovo. In terms of world population nearly 90% recognised Palestinian state but only 20% of the world population recognised Kosovo as independent.
Death of National government in the next election for sure. Under MMP, even a 5% swing will do. Majority of kiwis are disgusted with thiis governmet’s stand on Palestinian state .
The epitome of kicking the can down the road.
NZ always supports International Law
And shouts it from the roof tops
From the moral high ground
Freedom of Navigation
In making the US look respectable
Through the United Nations
The Palace of Strangers
The confederation of evil
Nothing but a US inspired vehicle for maintaining US expansionist policies
And Imperialism
Under the guise and ruse of peace
Which in reality is nothing but a eunuch safe to be left with the harem
A blow up doll that now it transpires has developed a leak
In recent years, especially amid the erosion of formal international law, there’s been a noticeable shift in language.
Instead of invoking “international law,” many leaders, diplomats, and institutions now refer to “international standards,” “global norms,” or “rules-based order.”
Why the Shift?
These terms are more flexible, less binding, and often politically palatable—especially when legal enforcement is weak or contested.
Often, these phrases signal strategic ambiguity, moral posturing, or soft power choreography—especially when enforcement is unlikely or uneven.
It’s diplomacy as ritual theater, where the scroll of law is replaced by the dance of norms.
The UN – International Law is a convenient Flagship of distraction.
That keeps shifting the GOAL posts on an uneven playing field.
A chameleon that blends itself into the landscape for ulterior motives and purposes to its own devices.
Beware the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducee’s.
Slow gradual hardly detectable but omnipresent change.
Its morally bereft whichever why you word it……
100% the right decision.
Those who want to reward killing 1400 men, woman, children and babies need to get there heads examined
Israel let it happen. They had Hamas attack plan weeks before Oct 7 – it has been reported. They stood down for hours. No hostages would have been taken otherwise.
Israel killed many of their own that day too. You can see and hear evidence of this from tank commanders and helicopter gunship pilots.
Also, no babies were beheaded, nor women raped. Propaganda that has been debunked by Israeli news
Your pretzel logic mirrors your analyses of history.
Good retort. Wanna refute anything I said
zaggy, be more observant: pretzel was for ‘It’s Me’.
Most were killed by IDF under the Hanibal doctrine. Go to “grayzone” website of honest Jews and learn the truth on what really happened.
Squatters have no right for self-defence. Israel has occupied the land and hence they do not have the right of a state under the International law.
Hamas was simply wanting over 30000 teenagers prisoned by IDF to be exchanged for any hostages taken. This went bad and played into the long term genocide plan of Israel.
