Dear Cameron Pitches
Official Information Act request: Meetings with Israeli Ambassador
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 22 October
2024. You requested:
“A list of meetings between yourself and the Israeli Ambassador to New Zealand,
since October 2023.
Please include the date and time of the meeting, the location of the meeting and
a summary of what was discussed.”
I can confirm that the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Christopher Luxon, has not met with the Israeli
Ambassador to New Zealand. Therefore, your request is refused under section 18(e) of the
Act, as the requested information does not exist.
If you are interested in the Prime Minister’s engagements, his diary is published on a monthly
basis on the Beehive website, here:
https://www.beehive.govt.nz/minister/biography/christopher-luxon You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Cameron Burrows
Chief of Staff
