Eid Mubarak to all celebrating today.
May your spirits always be as steadfast, hopeful and luminous as those celebrating in this video, in every other warzone, and under any other oppression worldwide
#UNGA on use of veto: The repeated use of the veto undermines the effectiveness of the #UNSC. With the situation in #Gaza deteriorating at alarming speed we welcome SC res 2728, which is legally binding. 🇳🇴 expects parties to act accordingly.

استقبلت اليوم الاثنين الممثلة النرويجية الخاصة للشرق الأوسط، سعادة السفيرة هيلدا هارالدستاد، بحضور القنصل العامة النرويجية في القدس، تورون فيسته.
خلال الاجتماع ناقشنا آخر المستجدات السياسية على الساحة الفلسطينية والإقليمية والدولية، وآخرها تشكيل الحكومة الجديدة برئاسة د.محمد مصطفى، والجهود المكثفة بالتنسيق والتعاون مع الأشقاء العرب لإنهاء الحرب والكارثة الإنسانية المتفاقمة في قطاع غزة بعد مرور 185 يوماً من الحرب المدمرة، التي تستهدف الكل الفلسطيني. إلى جانب ذلك، تم نقاش ملف التعاون الاقتصادي مع المملكة النرويجية الى حين إنهاء الأزمة المالية.
في المقابل، أكدت سعادة السفيرة بترحيب ودعم بلادها بتشكيل الحكومة الفلسطينية الجديدة، كما وأكدت الدعوة الى الوقف الفوري للحرب في القطاع ودعم المملكة النرويجية للمسار السياسي الذي يضمن الهدوء والاستقرار والتهدئة في المنطقة، وقيام دولة فلسطينية مستقلة وفقاً لحل الدولتين على اساس الشرعية الدولية.
The war in #Gaza: 6 months of destruction
With 62% of all homes damaged or destroyed, attacks on infrastructure are unprecedented. Families have lost absolutely everything.
Many lost the most precious: their loved ones. Everything is in short supply, except for grieving hearts.
I seks måneder har vi vært vitne til et fullstendig sammenbrudd i etterlevelse av humanitærrettens regler. Krigen vi har vært vitne til det siste halvåret undergraver sikkerheten og er svært ødeleggende for både israelere & palestinere. https://t.co/RzpEbOtGY2
Norway condemns the recent attack against the diplomatic premises of Iran in Damascus
Diplomatic premises & diplomatic & consular staff enjoy a special status under international law & must be protected
We call on all parties to show restraint to avoid further escalation
I am deeply disturbed by the repeated attacks on health facilities and health workers in #South_Lebanon, that killed 11 civilians yesterday, including 10 paramedics.
Healthcare is not a target. Civilians are not a target.

There has been a lot of debate and finger-pointing about the challenges to getting aid to people in need in Gaza.
So, let’s settle this once and for all.
Millions in Palestine and Israel will observe Ramadan during heightened tensions. The historic status quo of the holy sites must be respected & provocative actions must be avoided. We value Jordan’s custodianship of the holy sites. May this Holy Month bring peace. Ramadan Kareem.
Proud of our long-term partnership with the Arab Image Foundation @aifcom, culminating in the opening of a new library & study area in Beirut.
Despite the challenges facing 🇱🇧, we are pleased to play a role in bolstering its cultural sector.

Yes, @stephensackur of Hardtalk, I do too often see the international community fail the most vulnerable, like now in Gaza. But, we also often succeed in bringing hope even if in the bleakest of places when we fight together for rights and basic dignity. https://t.co/2FXtDbMbER
Det fins ingen røde linjer for hva Israel nå gjør. Internasjonalt press preller av. Bra fra utenriksministeren.
Barth Eide: Fortvilende at FN-ansatte i Gaza igjen blir rammet av Israels bombardement https://t.co/cV6owMtqvx
Deeply alarmed by the escalating exchange of fire, now stretching deep into Lebanese territory.
>90K displaced. >52 civilians killed. Healthcare and relief centers attacked.
Civilians, civilian infrastructure, & humanitarian workers are not a target.
This must stop now.
My best wishes to Mohammad Mustafa, who was just appointed Palestinian Prime Minister.
Palestine needs strong and unified institutions as we work for peace and a two-state solution.
I look forward to working closely together towards that end. 🇳🇴🇵🇸
Appreciate good exchange with @UNLazzarini & Nordic colleagues
@UNRWA is the life-line for Gazans & the backbone for all the humanitarian efforts in #Gaza
Welcome UNRWA’s response to the allegations
Welcome that donor countries resume their funding
