New Zealanders expect and deserve strong leadership that stands firmly for justice, human rights, and the rule of law. I urge you to take a principled stand and make New Zealand’s position clear.

Your government has a duty to uphold international law and defend the sovereignty of nations. Silence in the face of such rhetoric is not neutrality; it is a statement in itself.

It is not sufficient to simply "wait until President Trump clarifies his thinking." He is a convicted felon, a known fascist, and a bully—his words and actions must be met with unequivocal condemnation.

Aotearoa New Zealand is an independent nation with its own voice, and it is both troubling and unacceptable that such remarks, particularly regarding ethnic cleansing in Gaza, have gone unanswered. Failing to address them is, at best, a dereliction of responsibility and, at worst, complicity.
