Gaza Demands New Zealand Intervention
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is seeking information regarding New Zealanders who may have been involved when Israeli military patrols intercepted a flotilla of 50 boats. The discussion said that the action violated international law and put the lives of numerous civilians from various nations at risk. The discussion raised questions regarding the potential responses from Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom within the United Nations. Six New Zealand nationals were among those caught in the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla attempting to reach Gaza. 22 of the 58 boats in the flotilla and their crews were attacked and intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters. Sources describe the intervention as improper. Two New Zealanders, Ha Hauna Ormsby among them, avoided capture during an incident involving a flotilla.
