Norway’s Labour government will implement a national ban on trade with companies that facilitate Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land. This comes as a result of the socialist left party’s negotiations on a revised state budget, and continuing pressure from the norwegian confederation of trade unions (LO).
