Answer

New Zealand has consistently outlined our grave concerns about Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank, including our expectations that internatioanl law is upheld, this report offers further evidence of the appalling cost of the conflict on civilians, particularly children. We will continue to put these concerns to Israel directly. The Ministry will raise this specific report with Israeli officials.
