Norway is considering a bill that would impose up to three years in prison on anyone who engages in trade with Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, according to a report by N12. The foreign minister supports the move as part of a 12-nation initiative to introduce criminal sanctions on settlement-related commerce.
Norway is considering a new law that would make trade with Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria a criminal offense punishable by up to three years in prison, according to a report by N12. The country's foreign minister reportedly supports the legislation, which is part of a coordinated effort by a dozen countries to impose criminal sanctions on settlement-linked commerce.
In June, Norway published a draft law banning trade with settlements, as The Zioneer reported. The current proposal marks a significant escalation by adding criminal penalties and jail time. The initiative reflects a broader European push to tighten restrictions on Israeli settlement activity, with similar measures advanced in the Netherlands, France, and the EU in recent months.
