Israel/Palestinian Territories - Q&A - Extract from the press briefing (12 August 2024)

Q: Last week, Israel revoked the diplomatic status of Norwegian diplomats working with the Palestinian Authority. What is France’s reaction?

A: France expresses its deep concern over the Israeli government’s decision to withdraw the diplomatic status of Norwegian diplomats who work with the Palestinian Authority.

France reiterates that only a two-state solution with both states living side by side in peace and security can guarantee a lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians.

This decision is all the more regrettable in that Norway has worked tireless toward that goal for decades.
