Alon Roth-Snir: Ambassador of Israel to New Zealand voices disapproval with sanctioning of Israeli ministers - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

An Israeli diplomat is criticising New Zealand's sanctioning two of his country's ministers. 

Our Foreign Minister's barred the two high-ranking politicians from travelling here, following the lead of Australia, the UK, Canada, and Norway.  

Winston Peters says they are extremists who've advocated for violating international law. 

Ambassador to New Zealand, Alon Roth-Snir, says he wishes international allies would instead help work on a ceasefire. 

"We are for talks, we are for dialogues, we are not for putting blame or putting whatever was done yesterday to our ministers."
