Well if we waited until after both Israel & Hamas agree to wanting a ceasefire, we would look a bit ridiculous waiting for a ceasefire before calling for one.

Yes, lets wait until Israel & Hamas want a ceasefire before we call for one !!!

Rookie PM, way out of his depth.
What is the point in NZ politicians calling for an immediate ceasefire ? Such statements just make us look even more irrelevant & out of our depth. The issues in the Israel-Gaza conflict are much more complicated than that and I suggest the best we can do is to support the work the PM of Qatar is leading in trying to solve this. Not some ridiculous and uninformed statements like we saw from Labour yesterday
