Tēnā koe Mohammed Khan,

I am writing concerning your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 19 September 2024 date which asks for:

all documents and communications held by MFAT in regards the preparation of the following absurd statement which suggests that the zionists have the right to continue their illegal occupation of Palestinian land, in violation of the UN Charter:
https://www.mfat.govt.nz/en/media-and-re...

This email is to advise that we will need to extend the time limit for responding to you by 20 working days, to 15 November 2024. This is because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time frame (section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA refers)

However, if this process is completed before 15 November 2024, the response will be sent to you as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at: DM [email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision by contacting www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Highly amusing comment from the supporters of the genocide of Palestinians at MFAT:
"[Winston Peters] found the draft explanation of vote... particularly helpful... we could vote yes whilst [denying the genocide he supports]"
