Israel reportedly rejected request by Norwegian PM to visit country last month

Israel reportedly turned down a request by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to visit the country last month.

Israeli authorities told Norway that such a visit would be unwelcome, the local news outlet Dagens Næringsliv reports, citing unnamed sources.

Tensions between the two countries have boiled over amid Oslo’s criticism of Israel over the war in Gaza and Norway’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
