JAKARTA - New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters on Thursday discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza and support for realizing a two-state solution in Palestine with its France partner, Jean-Noel Barrot.
As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Thursday, September 11, an official statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of New Zealand stated that the discussions took place days before several countries, including France, Britain, Canada, and others, would recognize an independent Palestinian state at a UN General Assembly session later this month.
In addition to the countries mentioned, Australia has also announced that it will recognize the Palestinian state at the upcoming General Assembly.
However, New Zealand has not announced a concrete decision regarding this matter.

Meanwhile, New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon last month condemned Israel's attacks on Gaza and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to occupy the trapped enclave.
"I think Netanyahu has gone too far. I think he has lost his mind. And I think you know, what we witnessed last night, the attack on Gaza City, was completely unacceptable," Luxon told reporters in the capital Wellington.
In addition to bilateral relations, including in the defense and economic sector, the two top diplomats also discussed international efforts to show solidarity with Ukraine and Paris' diplomatic involvement with Iran.
