NewzThe Norwegian government is considering a new legislative bill that would impose prison sentences of up to three years for individuals or entities engaging in trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide addressed the proposed measure by highlighting that the situation in the West Bank has significantly deteriorated.
Furthermore, Foreign Minister Eide stated that the international community is increasingly immune to accusations of antisemitism historically leveled by Jerusalem against critics of its settlement policies. The bill represents a potential escalation in international legal and economic pressure regarding the contested territories.
