Other nations are applying sanctions and going to court over Gaza - should NZ join them?

The article discusses the ongoing conflict in Gaza and questions whether New Zealand should join other nations in applying sanctions and taking legal action. It highlights the potential for the situation to worsen if Hamas does not release Israeli hostages by a certain deadline. The US has blocked UN Security Council resolutions for a ceasefire, but President Joe Biden has urged Israel to protect civilians in any potential offensive. New Zealand has expressed its concern and commitment to a political settlement, but the article suggests that it could be doing more, particularly in regards to the International Court of Justice ruling and the issue of war crimes. The article also raises the question of whether New Zealand should consider implementing sanctions, as other countries have done. [Extracted from the article]
