Norway Demands Relocation of Israel Embassy
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - The Israeli Embassy in Oslo, Norway, was officially notified a few days ago that it must move to another location within a year, Yediot Ahronot reported Monday. According to the Norwegians, the embassy poses a security threat to its surroundings and has had a negative impact on the residents' quality of life. Michael Eligal, Israel's ambassador to Oslo, sent the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem a cable saying embassy staffers were having a hard time finding an alternate site. "No one wants to sell us property," he wrote. An Israel Foreign Ministry official said, "The authorities in Norway are capitulating to public opinion that is hostile to Israel."
