Representatives of the Norwegian government told the UN’s top court that Israel breached commitments made to the international body to help carry out a 1947 resolution calling for the establishment of Palestinian and Israeli states. Israel is under “clear legal obligations” that “require fully contributing to the realization of a viable state of Palestine”, Rolf Einar Fife, Norway’s ambassador to the EU, told the International Court of Justice. The “permanent and irreversible” nature of Israel’s occupation of Palestine, including the settlement of 700,000 Israelis in the West Bank, run counter to the establishment of a Palestinian state, Mr Fife told the court.
