Norway says it has summoned an Israeli embassy official to protest Israel’s decision to revoke the diplomatic status of Norwegian envoys to the Palestinian Authority.

“A short while ago, I summoned Israel’s representative to Norway and met her at the foreign ministry to protest against this decision. The Norwegian government is now evaluating what other measures we will take,” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide tells a press conference.
