New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has said that Israel’s leader Benjamin Netanyahu had lost the plot as the country weighs up whether to recognise a Palestinian state, Reuters reports.

Luxon told reporters that the lack of humanitarian assistance, the forceful displacement of people and the annexation of Gaza were utterly appalling and that Netanyahu had gone way too far.

“I think he has lost the plot,” added Luxon, who heads the centre-right coalition government. “What we are seeing overnight, the attack on Gaza City, is utterly, utterly unacceptable.”
