Norway city council approves boycott of Israeli goods

A city in Norway has passed a resolution calling on its residents to boycott goods and services produced in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

The Trondheim City Council passed the resolution, which also prohibits the municipality from purchasing goods and services from what it calls the “occupied territories,” earlier this month, The Local Norway reported. Trondheim is Norway’s third largest city.

“Illegal settlements are expanding, the construction of the wall continues, Palestinians are subjected to daily harassment and face major obstacles in their daily lives. This is a policy that Trondheim Municipality cannot support. The municipality will therefore refrain from purchasing goods and services produced in the occupied territories,” the resolution says.

Norway’s parliament in 2014 rejected a proposal calling for a nationwide boycott of Israeli goods produced in the occupied territories.
