Both Israeli and Palestinian leaders want Norway to facilitate future peace talks, says Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide, who met with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on Monday.
Søreide also met with Palestinian lead negotiator Saeb Erekat.
Following the meetings, the foreign minister told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that leaders in both Palestine and Israel want Norway to facilitate future peace talks between the two countries.
Both Israeli and Palestinian leaders would like Norway to facilitate potential future peace talks, she told NRK.
Søreide also stressed that the situation remains difficult and that she was realistic about the peace process.
The minister was speaking after meeting with Erekat, but before she spoke to Abbas on Monday.
Norway has helped us before, so we trust you, Erekat told NRK.
Søreide also said that she believed there was a willingness to resume processes and discussion, including with the Americans.

Oh, yeah, Norway has immense leverage... /s
This is Luge!!!
Lol.
Yeah, because the 1993 “Oslo Process” was such a blazing success..... the PaliNazis kept none of their commitments while Israel foolishly agreed to allow Arafart & thousands of his fellow terrorists to establish themselves in the West Bank and Gaza. Arafat & co. never should have been allowed in.
Again witgh the false promises and niavite that cost the Israelis ~1,000 murdered and ~+4,500 maimed?
Tell the Norwegians that first and foremost they need to convince the Paleostinians that Peace is in their (the Palis) best interest and that until such time that they do not grow up and accept reality, there can be no peace talks.
Been there, got burned, done that.
The Oslo Peace agreement from 1993 was an amazing agreement between Israel, Norway and the US...the Arabs??? Not applicable because all agreements are based on a word that no Muslim Arab understands. The magical word is...ready?...COMPROMISE.
Why on earth would Israel need Norway, of all countries, to broker a deal that forces Israel to give up land and rights to murderous subhuman squatters?
Only the suicidal Leftists in Israel would want the suicidal Norwegians to stick their noses in.
