Historic majority in the UN today. 137 countries spoke out: It is unacceptable for Israel to block life-saving support to Palestinians under occupation.
Respect for international law must be upheld. Humanitarian access is imperative. Everywhere.

Norway’s recognition of #Palestine as a state today represents a milestone in Norwegian-Palestinian relations.

The financial situation for Palestine is acute. They need money to pay for basic services, such as health and education, to their population.
Therefore, Norway is now transferring 9.5 million USD in budget support.

Agreement on budget support to Palestine: 100 mill. NOK will be spent on health, incl. medicine and treatment in East Jerusalem hospitals. In this difficult situation, Norway urges all donors to support PA institutions and services to the population in all parts of Palestine
FM @EspenBarthEide:
I am deeply alarmed by the recent surge in settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Norway has aligned with the recent sanctions imposed by the EU against violent settlers in the West Bank.

We are devastated to learn that our dear friend, media freedom defender Belal Jadallah from Norway’s longtime partner @PressHouseGaza, has been killed. We will continue to work to fulfill Belal’s dream of protection for all journalists everywhere. May his soul rest in peace
Thank you to Abu Bashar for telling the story about people in Wadi es Seeq
Thank you to @NRC_MiddleEast for the important job you are doing in Palestine with other NGOs
- to protect
- for human rights
Settler violence against Palestinian villages across the West Bank has continued all week. Today, settlers attacked Um Safa northwest of Ramallah. Israel, as the occupying power, must stop the violence, protect Palestinian civilians and prosecute those responsible
#FM@AHuitfeldt : recent Israeli measures to accelerate the building of illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian territory are unacceptable. I am deeply troubled by the violence in the West Bank. Full statement here: https://t.co/1vzgaGvy3R
Team Norway enjoyed the festive atmosphere of the #PalestineMarathon in Bethlehem today - despite difficult times. All Palestinians should have #FreedomOfMovement
Diplomats today heard harrowing accounts from victims of settler violence in Huwara and Za’tara, including many children. Perpetrators must be held to account. Palestinians must be safe on their own land
Today @NorwayPalestine joined other diplomatic missions in Khan Al Ahmar, a Palestinian Beduin community in Area C, where 38 families are at imminent risk of forcible transfer. This is unacceptable, civilians must be protected 1/2
Saddened and appalled to hear about tonight’s synagogue shooting attack in #NeveYaakov in East Jerusalem and strongly condemn this act of terror.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims.
Norwegian church leaders attended the ordination of Sally Azar in the Old City of Jerusalem today. Rev. Azar is the first woman to be ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land. Alf mabrouk!

We🇬🇧 are proud of the funding we give to @UNRWA to provide quality education for 530K+ Palestinian🇵🇸 students across the region, helping future generations like Ghazzal fulfil their potential. Amazing what girls can do when given the right chance & support! #girlseducation#UNRWA
Hva vil vi møte i 2023, og hvilke områder blir særlig viktige for Norge?
Utenriksminister @AHuitfeldt tok opp dette i sitt innlegg på @polyteknisk forenings arrangement Trend'23 i dag.

Demolition orders for Khallet Al-Dabae - home to more than 80 Palestinians - will enter into force on 29 September. Today in the UN Security Council, Norway urged Israel to stop all demolitions in Masafer Yatta: https://t.co/NDvm5J1gmo
Was a great visit of HaPoel Abu-Gosh Mevaseret Zion #football club. Inspiring hearing how meaningful it is for the players to be part of the first mixed team of #Palestinians & #Israelis & hear their vision of peaceful coexistence through love of the beautiful game.
