One Nation has picked a fight with one of Australia's closest allies, calling for tighter immigration controls for those across the ditch, after New Zealand co-sponsored a United Nation's resolution censuring Israel.

Queensland senator Malcolm Roberts said he was "appalled" by the Security Council resolution, which called for an immediate end to any and all settlement activities in disputed zones, including East Jerusalem, which he said "have contained Jewish settlements since biblical times".

In a statement released last week, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop implied Australia, which does not have a seat on the Security Council, would have gone against the position held by New Zealand, and the United States, which abstained from voting, while supporting a two-state solution.

Liberal senator Eric Abetz was also critical of New Zealand's position, releasing his own statement condemning the resolution.
