Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on Winston Peters confirming New Zealand won't recognise a Palestinian state

The Prime Minister says New Zealand remains committed to the peace process in the Middle East.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters has told the UN our Government won't be recognising a Palestinian state. 

Chris Luxon says we can't acknowledge a state whose de facto Government is the designated terror group, Hamas.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Peters delivered a 'well-argued and well-positioned speech' and New Zealand has always had its own foreign policy.
