New Zealand's ACT party is calling for the resignation of a Labour foreign spokesman who retweeted a statement justifying Hamas' attack on Gaza. The retweet, which has since been deleted, received criticism for its support of Hamas. The Labour Party has stated that the spokesman will not face sanctions after acknowledging his mistake. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been a topic of debate in New Zealand, with the country recently voting in favor of Palestinian rights at the United Nations.
