Israel to revoke diplomatic status of the Norwegian diplomatic staff representing Norway in the Palestinian Authority, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced today, arguing with a series of measures taken by Oslo against his country, France Press reported, quoted by BTA.
"Today I ordered the termination of all representation on behalf of the Norwegian Embassy in Israel towards the Palestinian Authority," Katz said in a statement. He based this decision on Norway's recent recognition of the State of Palestine, as well as Oslo's involvement in legal actions against Israeli leaders before the International Criminal Court.
