We strongly condemn the violent rampage by extremist Israeli settlers targeting Palestinian villages in the West Bank. There's no excuse for violence. Israeli security forces must go after all those involved and do more to protect Palestinian individuals and property.

We’re pleased that the Norwegian Wealth Fund has opted not to join the BDS movement and will continue to invest in Israel. As @ADL and others have long advocated, boycotts are blunt instruments that demonize the Jewish state and do nothing to advance the actual cause of peace.
