Norway said that the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) advisory opinion on Israeli occupation of Palestine is “crystal clear” and that Tel Aviv’s violation of international law “must come to an end”, Anadolu Agency reports.

“Israeli policies and practices are to be considered annexation of large parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. This is in violation of international law and must come to an end,” the Foreign Ministry wrote on X.

The ICJ ruling is “an unequivocal message to Israel, which we expect them to comply with immediately,” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in a separate message on X.
