The Israel Institute of New Zealand wants our country to deem Hamas in its entirety- a terrorist organisation.
Currently, we only designate the Palestinian organisation's military wing that way.
Hamas' surprise attack on Israel has killed at least 900, and almost 700 have died in Israel's retaliatory strikes on Gaza.
Institute co-chair Dr David Cumin says changing New Zealand's stance would serve a two-fold purpose.
"It stops New Zealanders being able to materially support terror like what we've seen conducted by Hamas over the last few days. And secondly, it is something that politicians can do to back up their words."
