RE: Secret Israel lobby meetings
Mohammed Khan made this Official Information request to Christopher Luxon
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Mohammed Khan to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Mohammed Khan
Dear office of Christopher Luxon,
According to Miriam Bell of the Australia Israel Review, after the event at Bondi Beach on 14 December last year, "Prime Minister Christopher Luxon met with Jewish community leaders privately the day after the attack, and then attended a vigil in Auckland".
https://1.org.nz/the-aftermath-of-bondi-...
Luxon's diary release for December 2025 does not record this "[private meeting] with Jewish community leaders", only "REMARKS: Memorial Service for Bondi Attack and Chanukah Lighting", which one assumes references the "vigil".
1) Why was the secret meeting excluded from the ministerial diary?
2) From taking office as Prime Minister on 27 November 2023 through to the end of February 2026 (the last diary released), how many other private meetings has Luxon held with Jewish community leader(s)/Israel lobbyists which were excluded from the public release of ministerial diaries as this one was?
Yours faithfully,
Mohammed Khan
