International Relations: Norway seeks lifting of boycott on Hamas

Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, has said Norway welcomes the agreement to form a Palestinian unity government, and will work towards lifting the boycott on Hamas.

According to reports from Oslo, he said the agreement is an important step towards halting internal violence among the Palestinians and creating stability in the Palestinian Territory.

"Saudi Arabia has, together with Egypt, Syria and the Arab League, played a decisive role in the success of this process," he added.

He went on to say this could make it possible for Norway to fully resume normal relations with the Palestinian Authority once a new unity government is in place.
