Norway has withdrawn 661 million dollars from five Israeli banks, the Ma'an news agency reported. The move reflects the Scandinavian country's policy of divesting from Israeli financial institutions over concerns linked to Palestinian territories.
The Norwegian decision comes as part of broader efforts by international actors to pressure Israel through financial measures. Norway's Government Pension Fund, one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, has previously implemented investment restrictions related to Israeli operations.
