New Zealand Foreign Minister's Home Attacked Amid Palestine Recognition Dispute

New Zealand's Foreign Minister Winston Peters' home was attacked when a window was smashed and a threatening note left, sparking concerns about political dissent amid tensions over New Zealand's refusal to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. Protesters have been demonstrating outside Peters' Auckland residence, expressing frustration over his stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Peters condemned the attack as "gutless" and criticized political figures who have encouraged such behavior, emphasizing the distress caused to families and neighbors. Police have arrested a 29-year-old man believed to be responsible, who turned himself in and is due in court. Authorities reaffirmed the right to lawful protest but condemned property damage. This incident highlights the heightened domestic tensions linked to New Zealand's foreign policy decisions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
