OSLO, August 8, 2025 (WAFA) - Norway’s sovereign wealth fund said it will next week announce changes to the handling of its Israeli investments, according to Finance Norway’s Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The Norwegian government announced last Tuesday that it has ordered an urgent review of its sovereign wealth fund’s investments due to ethical concerns related to the war in Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

At a press conference following his second meeting with fund officials in three days, Stoltenberg said, "I see several measures over time, but what can be addressed quickly, must be done quickly."

The Norwegian minister did not specify the exact nature of these measures but confirmed that there would not be a full withdrawal of investments from all Israeli companies.
