Israel revokes the diplomatic status of Norwegian envoys

Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, announced Thursday that Norwegian envoys to the Palestinian Authority would have their diplomatic status removed due to Oslo’s “anti-Israel behaviour” since the Gaza conflict began in October.

“I ordered the termination of all representation on behalf of the Norwegian Embassy in Israel vis-à-vis the Palestinian Authority,” Katz said in a statement, adding that “there is a price for anti-Israel behaviour.”
