Norway's foreign minister announced on Tuesday that the country has officially recognized a Palestinian state, marking a significant milestone in the relationship between Norway and Palestine. The decision comes after more than 30 years of Norway advocating for a Palestinian state.
In a statement, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide expressed confidence in the Palestinian government's ability to continue reforms and establish governance in both the West Bank and Gaza following a ceasefire. Eide also criticized the Israeli government for its lack of constructive engagement.
