DOHA, December 7, 2024 (WAFA) – Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide Saturday stated that he supported the establishment of an integrated Palestine comprising the whole of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, according to Anadolu Agency (AA).

Speaking in Doha Forum’s panel on “Conflict Resolution in a New Era” in Doha alongside Qatar's prime minister and India's foreign minister, Eide said: “We want an integrated Palestine comprising West Bank, Gaza, and relevant parts of Jerusalem.”

"I believe the message now from this region is that that is perfectly doable. There might actually be a major deal, but it has to happen with Palestine.”

“It’s not one conflict, but there is a root conflict that connects to all of them, which is the absence of a solution to the Palestinian question,” Eide noted.

AA said that the two-day Doha Forum 2024 is being held in Doha with the theme "The Inevitability of Innovation."

According to official estimates, over 4,500 participants from more than 150 countries are in attendance, including seven heads of state, seven prime ministers, and 15 foreign ministers.
