“Israel” announced on August 7 that it is withholding Palestinian Authority funds allocated for Gaza from Norway’s custody, terminating the escrow arrangement with Oslo. Then, on August 8, it announced revoking the diplomatic status of Oslo’s envoys to the Palestinian Authority.

Norway’s Foreign Minister said today that “Israel’s” decision to revoke the diplomatic status of Oslo’s envoys to the Palestinian Authority was an “extreme action” that would “have consequences”.
Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in a statement referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Today’s decision will have consequences for our relationship with the Netanyahu government. We are considering what measures Norway will take to respond to the situation that the Netanyahu government has now created.”
