Oslo, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Aug, 2024) Norway said on Thursday 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 the action -- which Israel said was taken in response to what it said was Oslo's "anti-Israel behaviour" -- demonstrated that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "actively working against a two-state solution" for Israelis and Palestinians.
"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," Eide said.
Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced earlier on Thursday that he had ordered the "termination of any representation on behalf of the Norwegian Embassy in Israel vis-a-vis the Palestinian Authority".
His ministry said it was revoking the diplomatic status of "eight Norwegian diplomats".
