Norway: We are working on issuing decisions from the "International Court of Justice" regarding what is happening in Gaza.

Andreas Krafvik, the Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister, stated that his country is concerned about what is happening in the Gaza Strip, and that Israel has not fulfilled its obligations imposed by international law, emphasizing the continued efforts to issue decisions from the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court regarding this behavior.

He added in an interview with Al Jazeera that Norway is working with European partners to push Israel to take different steps on the ground to stop this unjust and immoral behavior.

Krafvik confirmed that his country will continue its pressure to allow more aid to enter, stating that there are European sanctions targeting Israeli officials, in addition to referring this issue to the International Court of Justice.

The Norwegian official accused Israel of violating international law, but stressed the importance of working to allow aid to enter as soon as possible, saying that access to the Palestinians will not be possible without Israel's cooperation.

Krafvik described the situation in Gaza as a "nightmare," stating that it is a priority for Norway and many European countries that wish to deliver necessary aid and supplies, and not to rely on the "Gaza Humanitarian Institution," which was established on foundations that do not align with international standards.

Norway and its European partners are trying to push Israel to adopt a different approach in Gaza, and they also rely on the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to take steps in this crisis, according to Krafvik, who mentioned that there are more initiatives that can be proposed if Israel refuses to change its behavior.
