[IsraelTimes] Oslo reported to say decision reflects support for Israeli-Paleostinian dialogue and cooperation, opposition to boycotts of Jewish state
Norway is reportedly set to cut funding for Paleostinian NGOs that support boycotts of Israel.
Quoting a statement from the Norwegian government, Hadashot TV news reported Monday that the decision reflects Oslo’s support for Israeli-Paleostinian dialogue and cooperation, as well as its opposition to boycotts of Israel.
"This is an additional and vital step for damaging boycott organizations," Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan told the TV channel. "We will continue to work consistently to expose European funding for Paleostinian organizations that delegitimize [Israel]."
Norway’s decision comes just days after fellow Scandinavian country Denmark said it will revoke funding from several Paleostinian NGOs and tighten aid criteria for others after they were found to be tied to anti-Israel activities. |
