Subject: Official Information request - OIA Request – NZSIS Assessments on Israel-Palestine

[You don't often get email from [FOI #30943 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following information:

1. Any intelligence assessments, briefings, or reports produced by NZSIS since 1 January 2023 regarding:
* Threats to NZ’s national security or social cohesion linked to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
* Foreign interference in NZ (e.g., by Israel, Palestine, or allied states) related to lobbying, disinformation, or activism.
* Surveillance or risk analyses of NZ-based groups (pro-Palestine, pro-Israel, or other) in connection with the conflict.

2. Records of communications between NZSIS and other government agencies (e.g., MFAT, DPMC, Police) about protests, hate crimes, or extremism tied to Israel-Palestine.

3. Any NZSIS guidelines on classifying Palestine-related activism as a security concern (e.g., monitoring criteria, definitions of 'extremism').

I acknowledge that some information may be withheld under Sections 6 or 9 of the OIA for security reasons. However, I request that any available non-classified summaries or redacted versions be provided. Please respond within 20 working days.

Yours faithfully,
Will Bruce
