hristopher Luxon has called the language used in an email sent by one of his senior MPs “strong” and says he has spoken with him.

The email from Chris Bishop has been circulating on social media in recent days. In it, he compares the “barbarity” of Hamas’s attacks on Israel to the holocaust. 

“After 1945 the world said ‘never again’, well – now it is happening again,” wrote Bishop.

Speaking to RNZ, Luxon said the email reflected the emotion related to the ongoing conflict but said he had spoken to Bishop about it.

“I thought it was strong language, it’s also representative of the strong emotions on all sides of this debate,” said Luxon.

On Newshub, Luxon added: “He’s responding to a private email. My conversation with him was like, ‘I think you’ve got to be a bit more careful about that language’.”
