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

My thoughts.
Yes agreed the conflict is terribly complicated, but I don't understand how anyone could watch the images of the slaughter & suffering of so many innocent school children, women, the elderly, hospital patients, fathers, mothers, etc day after day & not say - this has to stop.
More than any other time in history, around the world millions of people are protesting this ongoing one sided slaughter, & calling for a ceasefire.
NZ has always been a champion of Human rights & International Law & our voice carries weight & influence well beyond our comparatively size.
This especially in recent years as Jacinda Ardern raised our profile on the global stage, & esp in the Middle East.
What other countries world leader ever had their image projected on the tallest tower in the world, Dubai's Burj Khalifa with the word Peace written in both English & Arabic.
Ireland, Spain, Belgium have joined others called for a ceasefire & many other countries are calling for a Humanitarian Pause with the pressure growing for a more affirmative response.
We should all be supporting calls for a stop to the killing which shows no sign of slowing, & calling for a ceasefire.
This is one of the best ways we can support Qatar & the UN's attempts to de-escalate this.
I think many if not most Kiwi's would feel remaining silent while watching the ongoing sheer scale of this horrific travesty of humanity & International Law, could not continue.
The way I see it NZ needed to make a stand & am glad at least Hipkins did, since National continue to dither & don't seem to stand for anything.

Wonderful to see the return of sanity into the government rather than the diversity for diversity’s sake of the failed Ardern government of woke, incompetence and hypocrisy.

It's such a meaningless gesture it's laughable, although it might have the odd bod pulling out a map to see where this New Zealand place is, and where all the Kiwi's [sic] live.

So not all Palestinians are for Hamas but many are.
Hamas needs to be destroyed, and once they are gone, hopefully Iran will not have a voice in that area of the world.
Nor should the USA . Wherever there is trouble around the world the USA will be there.

Actually I agree with you there.
