Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa says the Prime Minister should apply the âMiddle East sniff testâ again. This time to a New Zealand government military deal with Israel.
The follows revelations Air New Zealand was servicing equipment for the Saudi Arabian navy, while Saudi Arabia attacked civilians in Yemen, precipitating a severe humanitarian crisis.
PSNA Chair, John Minto says the Prime Ministerâs nose should sniff the New Zealand Defence Force purchases of military equipment from Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems Limited.
âElbit Systems is acting illegally under international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.â
âThis was too much for the New Zealand Superfund which withdrew its investments from Elbit Systems in 2012.â
