Norway’s foreign minister says that Israel’s decision to revoke the diplomatic status of Oslo’s envoys to the Palestinian Authority was an “extreme action” that would “have consequences.”
“Today’s decision will have consequences for our relationship with the Netanyahu government. We are considering what measures Norway will take to respond to the situation that the Netanyahu government has now created,” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide says in a statement, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
