Rt Hon Christopher LuxonPrime Ministerc.luxon@ministers.govt.nzRt Hon Winston PetersForeign Minister- Sponsor Promotion -w.peters@ministers.govt.nzTēnā kōrua,We, call on the NZ Government to urgently demand the Israeli authorities immediately end the inhumane blockade of occupied Gaza, and allow the international civilian flotilla boats currently sailing to Gaza, safe and unhindered passage to their destination. The combined flotillas plus global solidarity action confront what governments, corporations and institutions have failed to do —to stop genocide, end apartheid and demand accountability under international law. Like previous peace flotillas, the unarmed civilian boats to Gaza pose no threat whatsoever to Israel. However, in light of Israel’s record of illegal interceptions, attacks and seizure of previous Gaza-bound boats in international waters, we call on the NZ Government to urgently demand the Israeli authorities immediately end their inhumane blockade of Gaza, and allow the flotilla vessels safe and unhindered passage to reach their destination.
