PM says NZ won't be rushed on Palestine stance
The Prime Minister says the government won't be rushed into revealing its decision on recognising Palestinian statehood. The Foreign Affairs minister Winston Peters is in New York and is expected to announce New Zealand's position later this week, at the United Nations General Assembly. In the meantime, some of New Zealand's closest partners have announced they will recognise Palestine - including three of its Five Eyes partners. Giles Dexter reports.
