Norway's Foreign Ministry is spearheading a bill that would outlaw trade with Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, a single diplomatic source reports. The draft legislation is in its early stages; its scope, enforcement mechanisms, and legislative timeline remain unclear. This follows a pattern of European diplomatic efforts to differentiate between Israel proper and the territories, but Norway has not previously advanced such a trade prohibition at the legislative level. No Israeli official response has been reported yet.
