Within hours of the slaughter of over 1,000 civilian men, women and babies by Hamas terrorists, our former Foreign Minister tweeted:
This was widely criticised for its failure to condemn the slaughter by Hamas. Now it turns out that MFAT provided a different message to her, but her office/her rejected their message and instead sent out the one above.
So MFAT’s draft started with “Aotearoa New Zealand (flag) unequivocally condemns rocket and terror attacks from Gaza into Israel and calls for their immediate cessation.” and Nanaia or her office deleted that and refused to send it.
Let us hope our new Foreign Minister doesn’t need prodding to condemn terrorism.
