UNRWA must survive. No country is above international law. Norway is initiating a UN resolution asking the International Court of Justice to clarify Israel's legal obligations to ensure that aid reaches Palestinians. regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/nor…

Norway strongly rejects the legislation adopted by the Knesset today, which will make it impossible for #UNRWA to operate in #Palestine. Palestinian civilians who are suffering and living in extreme need will be pushed even closer to the brink. regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/sta…

The escalating violence in northern #Gaza is intolerable. Hunger is rampant, and is expected to cause death at a major scale. Civilians must be protected, and Israel must allow and secure humanitarian access in strict adherence to international law. The world watches in despair.

The UN Charter and international law are the cornerstones of our global order. When these principles come under pressure, it’s crucial to stand by them. They are the bedrock of peace, security, and international cooperation. Happy United Nations Day! #UNDay

The Nordic countries are deeply concerned by the potential impact on the West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem, and Gaza if the Israeli Knesset approves the draft bill on @UNRWA Urging Israel to allow UNRWA to continue its crucial work, mandated by @UN ➡️ regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/nor…

Congratulations to #NihonHidankyo, the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Over the past 8 decades, The survivors of Nagasaki&Hiroshima have worked tirelessly for a world without nuclear weapons. Their stories remind us of the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of these weapons.

One year after Hamas' heinous terror attack on Israel, our hearts are with all those who lost loved ones, were injured, taken hostage and their families. These were despicable acts of terrorism. A ceasefire and the release of hostages is more urgent than ever before.

Norway will recognize Palestine as a State. A two-state solution is the only viable pathway to peace for both Israel and Palestine. At this critical juncture, our recognition comes in support of the work towards a comprehensive plan for regional peace.

Historic decision in the @UN General Assembly! Norway is proud to have co-sponsored a strong resolution strengthening Palestine in the UN & calling on the #UNSC to reconsider the matter of Palestine’s membership. This is an important milestone towards a two-state solution.

I welcome the decisions by the @EU_Commission, @SweMFA & @CanadaFP to continue their funding to @UNRWA The situation is desperate. UNRWA is the lifeline for Gazans & crucial for Palestine refugees across the Middle East. The UN has addressed accusations in a timely manner.
