In a symbolic gesture to our military allies, New Zealand is following suit in designating Hamas a terrorist entity. 

The Government says it can no longer distinguish between the organisation's military and political wings. 

Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp told Mike Hosking that Australia and Canada have also designated Hamas a terrorist entity, and the three have issued a joint statement. 

He says it's clear there's a consistent stance on the Gaza war and part of that is calling for an immediate ceasefire.
