Barry Soper: Senior political correspondent on Netanyahu’s comments about New Zealand supporting Palestine - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Benjamin Netanyahu has called a number of western nations – including New Zealand – ‘shameful’ for their support of Palestine. 

These comments come as the NZ Government moves closer towards recognising a Palestinian state. 

Senior political correspondent Barry Soper says a statement about recognising Palestine will likely happen soon. 

“We probably will do; I would imagine at the General Assembly in New York next month.”
