It is my assessment that it is not the recognition of Palestine, but this letter sent to the court that led to the strong reaction from Israel, says Barth Eide. The letter was about the fact that Norway, as a party to the Oslo Accords, believed that the International Criminal Court had the right and opportunity to hear the case, with Israelis among others as parties.
