Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide expressed deep concern on Wednesday over the recent escalation of settler violence in the West Bank, highlighting the severe impact on Palestinian civilians and the broader implications for regional peace and stability, reported Xinhua.
In a statement, Eide said the surge in violence has resulted in civilian casualties, the destruction of homes and private property, and the displacement of entire communities.
He pointed out that these acts of aggression exacerbate the already tense situation in the region, especially amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
"The violence in the West Bank poses a significant threat to peace and stability and hinders any progress toward a Palestinian state and the much-needed two-state solution," he said.
The minister criticized the longstanding issue of impunity and the failure to hold those responsible for settler violence accountable. As the occupying power, Israel is required by international law to protect the Palestinian civilian population, said Eide.
"Norway has long held the position that Israel's policy of building settlements on occupied land is in violation of international law and must cease," he said.
In response to the escalating violence, Norway has aligned with the European Union, adopting sanctions against extremist settlers in the West Bank as of April 19.

As a supporter of human rights, it is heartening to see Norwegian FM Espen Barth Eide taking a strong stance against settler violence in the West Bank. His condemnation of these actions and call for accountability are key steps towards ensuring peace and justice for the Palestinian people. Let’s hope that other countries and international bodies also stand up against such injustices.
It’s truly disheartening to see the escalation of settler violence in the West Bank. The impact on Palestinian civilians and the hindrance to peace and stability in the region are deeply concerning. Action must be taken to hold those responsible accountable and work towards a sustainable solution.
In my opinion, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide’s condemnation of settler violence in the West Bank is crucial for highlighting the severe impact on Palestinian civilians and the broader implications for regional peace and stability. The surge in violence, resulting in civilian casualties and property destruction, only worsens the already tense situation in the region. I agree with the minister that such violence poses a significant threat to peace and stability. It’s essential to hold those responsible for settler violence accountable and ensure compliance with international law to protect the Palestinian civilian population.
Do you think the sanctions against extremist settlers will effectively deter future violence in the West Bank?
