Norwegian foreign ministry makes substantial updates to policy on Israel, Jerusalem and Palestine state – A pro-Israel NGO says it convinced Oslo to clarify that Norway recognizes Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and that it doesn’t recognize a Palestinian state. | JNS.org

(May 3, 2023 / JNS) The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs conceded last November to the pro-Israel NGO With Israel for Peace (Med Israel for fred, or MIFF) that capital cities are not subject to recognition by other countries.
At some point following a March 7 letter from MIFF, Norway changed its website to note that it recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and does not recognize a Palestinian state.
