Question

  • Further to PWQ 17762 What response, if any, has the Minister had from the Government of Israel about the bulldozing of New Zealand War Graves in Gaza?

Answered by

Rt Hon Winston Peters

Answer

The Israeli Foreign Ministry expressed Israel's "profound regret" and said Israel "was truly sorry" for the damage caused. Officials will continue to convey New Zealand's expectation that New Zealand and Pacific war graves are treated with respect.
