France: Two-state solution is the only way to ensure peace
The French Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the two-state solution is the only way to ensure lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians.
She added in a statement that she was "deeply concerned" by Israel's cancellation of the accreditation of Norwegian diplomats.
Last Thursday, Israel informed the Oslo embassy in Israel that it was revoking the diplomatic status of Norwegian officials working in their country's representative office to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
Norway has a diplomatic representation office in Ramallah in the West Bank, but access to the West Bank requires passing through Israeli crossings.
The Israeli decision comes after Norway, Spain and Ireland announced on May 28, and Slovenia on June 4, their official recognition of the Palestinian state, bringing the total number of countries recognizing it to 148 out of 193 member states of the United Nations General Assembly.
