In addition to listing Hamas in its entirety as a terrorist entity, New Zealand imposes travel bans on “extremist” Israeli settlers whom it says has committed violent attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says he’s “seriously concerned by the significant increase in extremist violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers” against Palestinians in recent months.
“This is particularly destabilizing in what is already a major crisis,” Luxon says.
