The ‘Israeli’ Embassy in Norway has criticized a proposed bill that would criminalize trade with ‘Israeli’ settlements in the occupied West Bank, describing it as part of a hostile policy toward ‘Israel’.
The proposed legislation would prohibit economic activity and trade involving products originating from settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
‘Israeli’ diplomatic representatives said the measure would undermine bilateral relations and reflect what they described as a biased political position against ‘Israel’.
The criticism comes amid growing international debate over settlement activity in the occupied West Bank and the legality of economic dealings with settlements.
Supporters of the proposed legislation argue that restricting settlement-related trade would bring Norway’s policy in line with international law and human rights standards.
The proposal remains under discussion in Norway as diplomatic tensions over settlement policy continue.
