Norway: We are ready to recognize Palestine
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gar Stör said Friday that Oslo is ready to recognize an independent Palestinian state.
Stör added at a joint press conference with the participation of the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who visited Oslo: Norway is ready to make a decision on the recognition of Palestine.
Although he said that a "final timetable" for this decision has not been determined, he said that efforts and coordination with other countries to recognize Palestine will be "strengthened" in the coming weeks.
In November, the Norwegian parliament agreed to the government's proposal to recognize an independent Palestinian state.
An American publication reported that the US defense minister criticized his Israeli counterpart for not having prior knowledge of the Israeli regime's attack on Damascus.
The American newspaper "The Washington Post" wrote in its report that US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin criticized his Israeli counterpart for not knowing about Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria in advance.
According to the report, Austin believes that Tel Aviv should have informed him in advance of the attack on Damascus because it had far-reaching consequences for US forces in the region.
The White House has previously stated that Washington does not want conflict and the start of a new era in the region.
On the other hand, the American Bloomberg website, referring to the statements of people closely familiar with the American and Zionist regime's intelligence assessments, said that Iran can carry out very high-precision attacks against Israeli military facilities, including missiles and drones.
One of the people quoted in this report said that the main issue now is when will Tehran attack Israel?
At the same time, America warned its diplomats in the Israeli regime to limit their visits. In a statement, the US Embassy in Tel Aviv told its employees and family members of diplomats that it is necessary not to go outside of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Beer-Sheba.
Based on this statement, the US State Department asked American diplomats to avoid unnecessary trips as much as possible.
This American warning was made after the escalation of tension between Tel Aviv and Tehran.
After the Zionist attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the martyrdom of a group of Iranian forces, the authorities in Tehran have insisted on a remorseless response to the Zionist regime, and this issue has become a source of widespread concern for the Zionists and their American allies.
A few days ago, the "Al-Arabiya" channel broadcasted information about the broad movements of the United States against the backdrop of a possible attack by Iran on the Zionist regime. Al-Arabiya said in this regard: "General Mac Corla, commander of the US Central Command, is expected to visit Tel Aviv to coordinate any possible attack by Tehran or its representatives."
This Saudi media also said that Brett McGurk, the representative of the United States for the Middle East, announced that he was holding consultations with the Arab countries. An informed source, who did not want to be named, said that McGurk contacted the foreign ministers of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iraq and asked them to send a message to Iran urging this country to reduce tensions with Israel.
The mentioned source said: "The American ambassador asked the officials of these countries to contact the Iranian foreign minister and convey the message that this country should calm down the situation with Israel."
