Nationwide pro-Palestinian protests call on government to sanction Israel

Photo: RNZ / Mary Argue Protesters across the country are calling on the government to place sanctions on Israel for its war in Gaza. This week the government announced it is considering whether to join other countries like France, Canada and Australia in recognising Palestinian statehood at a UN leader's meeting next month. But critics say the move is long overdue. Protesters have taken to the streets in about 20 cities and towns, waving flags, holding vigils, and banging pots and pans to represent what a United Nations-backed food security agency has called "the worst case scenario of famine".

Dr Robert Patman on Israel and Palestine

A series of rallies and vigils are being held around the country today in a 'national day of action' planned by Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa. It comes in a week where Israel launched attacks on Gaza City and killed five Al-Jazeera journalists in a targeted strike. Green co-leader Chloe Swarbrick was suspended from parliament after saying MPs could "grow a spine" and support her bill which would impose sanctions on Israel. While Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had 'lost the plot' after launching a take-over of Gaza City.
