Israel revokes diplomatic status of Norwegian envoys

Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Thursday the diplomatic status of Norwegian envoys to the Palestinian Authority would be revoked over Oslo’s “anti-Israel behaviour” since the Gaza war began in October.

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