The Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway, Anniken Huitfeldt, who expressed solidarity with the people of Jenin while condemning "violence against civilians."
"These kinds of statements do not contribute to calming the situation on the ground and encourage radicalization and incitement on the Palestinian side," said the ministry, adding that "her remarks regarding the events, while ignoring the terrorist attack against Israelis in Tel Aviv or the rocket fire from Gaza, do not contribute to the dialogue between Israel and Norway."
