Norway says it wants to see an “integrated Palestine” which includes the occupied West Bank and Gaza, Al Jazeerareports.

During the 22nd Doha Forum panel, Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said “We want an integrated Palestine comprising West Bank, Gaza, and relevant parts of Jerusalem.

“I believe the message now from this region is that that is perfectly doable. There might actually be a major deal, but it has to happen with Palestine,” Eide added.

“It’s not one conflict, but there is a root conflict that connects to all of them, which is the absence of a solution to the Palestinian question.”
