Norway: Condemning Israel's Actions in Gaza
A History of Criticism
Norway has consistently criticized Israel's settlement policy, believing it violates international law and hinders the prospects of achieving a two-state solution. In the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, Norway took a strong stance against Israel's actions.
International Law Violations
Norway believes that Israel's bombardment of Gaza may have violated international law. The strikes have resulted in the destruction of neighborhoods and the loss of thousands of lives. Norway views these actions as a disproportionate response and a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
A Lone Voice at the UN
Norway was the only country to support a recent United Nations General Assembly motion condemning Israel's actions in Gaza. Other countries declined because the motion failed to acknowledge Israel's right to self-defense. Norway's stance reflects its commitment to international law and its concern for the Palestinian people.
