New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters said that Israel was going “too far” in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Anadolu reports.
Flagging concern as the conflict nears one year, Peters said Tel Aviv “created misery for innocent people.”
Speaking to Radio New Zealand, he also defended his country’s support for Palestine resolution in the UN General Assembly on Wednesday and said: “We have to do the best we can to try and see that this misery is over.”
Responding to a question about Israel’s right to self-defence, he said Israel has the right but “there comes a time when you cannot maintain that argument, when so many innocent people become the victims”.
