Sudan Events \u2013 Sumaya Sayed<\/strong><\/p>\n Norway was of the view that a unified Palestinian territory should be run by the Palestinian Authority, but \u201cprefacing everything, it has to be what the Palestinians want,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Norway served as a facilitator in the 1992-1993 talks between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that led to the Oslo Accords in 1993.<\/p>\n The Palestinian Authority, set up under that agreement, exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank and held talks with Israel on a Palestinian state before they collapsed in 2014. Hamas has ruled in Gaza since 2007 and pledged to Israel\u2019s destruction.<\/p>\n Since the Oslo talks, Norway has chaired a donor group coordinating international assistance to the Palestinian territories, the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC), and worked with others to try to revive a diplomatic channel between Israel and the Palestinians.<\/p>\n Barth Eide said work on a two-state solution was becoming urgent as the conflict was spreading in the region, but that only the United States and the Israeli people could influence Israel\u2019s position.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we can do is work on Palestinian unity, and think about models with interested countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Calls for a two-state solution have grown in the wake of attacks on Israel on October 7 in which Hamas gunmen killed 1,200 people and took 240 hostages, prompting an Israeli bombardment and ground offensive against Hamas-ruled Gaza in which health authorities in the territory say more than 24,000 people have been killed.<\/p>\n A two-state agreement would create a state for the cPalestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip alongside Israel. Israel has said a Palestinian state must be demilitarized so as not to threaten its security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sudan Events \u2013 Sumaya Sayed Norway was of the view that a unified Palestinian territory should be run by the Palestinian Authority, but \u201cprefacing everything, it has to be what the Palestinians want,\u201d he added.
