The Israeli Ambassador says he would welcome any discussions with the New Zealand Government, but is yet to receive any contact from the caretaker ministers.
In a rare interview, Ambassador Ran Yaakoby, has told Midday Report that he has been in touch with foreign officials, but nothing more.
It comes after the former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark, along with other renowned global leaders known as The Elders, spoke out about the conflict.
Clark condemned the horrifying attacks on Israel, and acknowledged it has a right to defend itself, but added Israel's actions are not proportionate at all.
Yaakoby, rejects the notion that Israel's retaliation is disproportionate.
Yaakoby spoke to Charlie Dreaver.
