Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick has no plans to apologise, after being barred from the House for the rest of the week.
During an urgent debate on Tuesday, Swarbrick said government MPs could grow a spine and support her bill imposing sanctions on Israel.
The Speaker suspended her from Parliament and said unless she apologised, he will do so again every day this week.
On Wednesday, a Green Party spokesperson confirmed Swarbrick was not planning on apologising.
Speaking to media after the Speaker's ruling, Swarbrick said the party would follow the correct processes, and would ask the Speaker to reflect on previous language in Parliament.
She described the ruling as "ridiculous" and the punishment excessive.
"As far as the robust debate goes in that place, I think that was pretty mild in the context of the war crimes that are currently unfolding."
She drew a comparison with comments made by former prime minister Sir John Key in 2015, when he challenged the opposition to "get some guts".
Swarbrick said she was tired and angry at the massacre of human beings.

"What the hell is the point of everything that we do if the people in my place, in my job don't do their job?" she said.
"If we allow other human beings to be just mercilessly slaughtered, to be shot while waiting for food aid, what hope is there for humanity?"
Swarbrick was not the only MP to run afoul of the Speaker during Tuesday's debate.
Earlier, Labour MP Damien O'Connor was told to either exit the chamber or apologise after interjecting "bloody gutless" while Foreign Minister Winston Peters was speaking.
O'Connor stood and left.
Brownlee also demanded ACT MP Simon Court say sorry - which he did - after Court accused Swarbrick of "hallucinating outrage".
'Deafening' silence on Gaza - Labour
On Morning Report's political panel, National minister Paul Goldsmith said the government was taking time to discuss Palestinian statehood.
Labour's deputy leader Carmel Sepuloni said there was no worse injustice than what was happening in Gaza and the silence from National was "deafening".
"You saw the frustration explode in the House yesterday.
"There are a lot of New Zealanders out there watching the scenes in the Middle East and wondering where the voice of our government is on this, and why its taking so long to make simple decisions."
Goldsmith said the decisions weren't simple.
The government had always been clear it was in favour of a two-state solution, and was working its way through what it wanted to do, he said.
"Australia made a decision on Monday, we don't have to do our decision on Tuesday," he said.
Goldsmith said the government was working on a clear position recognising a concern around Hamas and making sure that they were not involved in any future Palestinian state.
Australia will move to recognise Palestine at UN meeting in September, and Foreign Minister Winston Peters has said New Zealand would make a decision over the next month.
