Participants in a New Zealand rally demanding the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza performed a traditional Maori Haka in the national capital Wellington on Sunday.
Video released on X – formerly known as Twitter – shows the Haka being performed in Wellington’s Te Ngakau Civic Square in front of rows of chairs adorned with posters of missing Israelis.
Many of those taking part draped themselves in the Israeli national flag.
The social media post came with the exhortation: “Haka in support of Israel. From the ends of the earth, we stand with you Israel.”
The gathering in Wellington was designed to show public support for Israel as it seeks to retaliate for the events of October 7 when Hamas terrorists invaded the country and began mass rape, torture, and slaughter of civilians before taking hostages back to Gaza.
