The Government’s budget for 2018 re-confirms Norway’s well-established policy on BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions). Based on our interest in realizing a negotiated two-state solution, Norway’s support to Palestinian and Israeli civil society organizations will continue. But as before, the Norwegian Government will not provide support to organizations that have stated boycott of Israel as their primary goal.
Norway continues to believe that dialogue and cooperation are prerequisites for improving relations between Palestinians and Israelis.
