As per reports, leftists and anti-imperialists and peace groups protested in Oslo on Wednesday (03 January) against the use of weapons made in Norway by Israel in the war.
• The protestors have formerly also demanded that the Norwegian government take steps to prevent weapons from reaching active war zones and end-user declarations to countries to which Norway sells weapons so that it will be possible to control where the weapons end up.
• Even though Norway has officially banned the export of arms to states waging war, including Israel, it has been exposed that Norway-made arms and ammunition are widely used in Israel’s war.
• Norwegian weapons end up in Israel’s hands mainly because Norway sells weapons to NATO members like the US, which in turn is Israel’s most important supplier of weapons and military equipment.
