I condemn the military escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
The attacks breach international law, increase regional tensions & threaten global security.
They set back efforts to reach a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear program.
Deescalation is essential.

Today’s decision by the Netanyahu government is an extreme action.
It first and foremost seeks to affect our ability to help the Palestinian population.
Norway will not be deterred from working for a #TwoStateSolution

🇳🇴 in #UNSC: ICJ is crystal clear: Israeli policies and practices are to be considered annexation of large parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. This is in violation of international law and must come to an end.

That means that Norway will consider Palestine to be an independent state with rights and duties this entails.
