Foreign minister defends Norway against Israel’s sanctions

Quick Summary:

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide continues to insist that Norway is “a friend of Israel” and always has been.

He now thinks the Israeli conservative government’s recent sanctions against Norway are tied to a letter Norway sent last week to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

For Israel, already angry with Norway for recognizing the Palestinian state and over Eide’s criticism of Israel’s constant attacks on Gaza, Norway’s letter to the ICC may have been the last straw.
