Thomas Coughlan: NZ Herald political editor on Luxon defending earlier claims that Israel's leader has 'lost the plot' - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Chris Luxon is defending saying Israel's leader has 'lost the plot' in the face of pushback.

The Prime Minister criticised Benjamin Netanyahu over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where people are starving.

Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister responded that Luxon can't comprehend the challenges of facing Hamas.

NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says Luxon's put his own views out there - in a change of pace from factoring in Winston Peters and David Seymour.
