[…] New Zealand on Thursday listed Palestinian Islamist group #Hamas in its entirety as a terrorist entity and imposed travel bans on "extremist" Israeli settlers whom it said had committed violent attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank.
[…] Prime Minister Christopher #Luxon said in a statement that the attacks by the Hamas on Israel in October "were brutal and we have unequivocally condemned them." But he added that "New Zealand wants to be clear that the designation of Hamas is about the actions of an offshore terrorist entity and is not a reflection on the Palestinian people in Gaza and around the world."
