Scaling down of missions

Mohammed Khan made this Official Information request to New Zealand Defence Force

Currently waiting for a response from New Zealand Defence Force, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Mohammed Khan

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

Yesterday it was reported that the NZDF would be 'stopping' and 'scaling down' various missions- including some genuinely relevant to the national security of the New Zealand people- because of Judith Collins's budget cuts.

My question is as follows:
1) Will those missions being 'stopped' or 'scaled down' include the NZDF commitment to 'Operation Prosperity Guardian', as carried out by 'Israel' and its proxies, the mission in which NZDF personnel have been involved in targeting and murdering a number of civilians in Yemen, including the 10 year old girl Shaja Ahmed Dahan, because the Yemeni people oppose the genocide of the Palestinian people and have been executing a 'responsibility to protect' operation against vessels that ship weapons and other war supplies to 'Israel'?

Yours faithfully,
Mohammed Khan
