Cabinet discussions are continuing over whether New Zealand will recognise the State of Palestine.

A number of countries have said they'll recognise Palestine next week at a UN meeting.

Chris Luxon says recognition is a complex issue and that there's a range of views to consider, and the Government will make its own decision on whether recognition is appropriate.

The Prime Minister told Mike Hosking an announcement on the matter, won't be made today.

He says the Government has always said it's a matter of "when not if" -  Foreign Minister Winston Peters will have more to say on the matter in the coming weeks.
