An urgent debate was called after the centre-right government said on Monday it was weighing up its position on whether to recognise a Palestinian state.
Swarbrick, who is co-leader of the Green Party, said New Zealand was a “laggard” and an “outlier” and the lack of decision was appalling before calling on some government members to support a bill to “sanction Israel for its war crimes.” The bill was proposed by her party in March and is supported by all opposition parties.
Speaker Gerry Brownlee said that statement was “completely unacceptable” and she had to withdraw it and apologise. When she refused, Swarbrick was ordered to leave parliament.
New Zealand has said it will make a decision in September about whether it would recognise Palestine as a state.
“We’ll be weighing this decision carefully rather than rushing to judgement,“ Peters said.
Labour parliamentarian Peeni Henare said New Zealand had a history of standing strong on its principles and values and in this case “was being left behind.” - Reuters
