New Zealand Must Not Remain SilentNew Zealand has long presented itself as a principled defender of international law and human rights. Reaffirm that East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory and reject any attempt to alter its legal or historical status. Demand an immediate end to Israeli military incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the ongoing restrictions imposed on Palestinian worshippers. Support meaningful international accountability measures, including investigations into violations of international law and international humanitarian law. An Assault on International LawThe targeting of Al-Aqsa Mosque is not merely an attack on a place of worship.
