Over the weekend, the Government confirmed it wouldn't recognise Palestinian statehood - for the time being.
Winston Peters made the announcement at the UN General Assembly, saying conditions weren't yet right.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis has defended this move - and says no matter what happened, one side would have taken issue with their choice.
"We, as a Cabinet, decided to do what we believed was an independent, New Zealand-based decision - based very much on the facts in front of us what we thought was the best thing."
