Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said the only possible political solution between Israelis and Palestinians was “two states living side by side in peace and security.” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said he did not expect the recognition to stop the war in Gaza, but it was “a key component” for an Arab-led peace initiative.
“I am sending a clear message today: Israel will not be complacent against those who undermine its sovereignty and endanger its security,” he said. Israel’s rightwing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a sovereign Palestinian state, despite the so-called “two-state solution” remaining the policy objective of Israel’s closest ally the United States. Washington, however, opposes recognizing Palestine without an agreement reached at negotiations.
Last month, Washington vetoed recognising Palestine as a state at the United Nations, where the Palestinians now have observer status.
