Palestinians Occupy Norwegian Ministry of Finance, Demand Divestment

Oslo, Norway – In a dramatic escalation of tensions, a group of Palestinian activists stormed the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on May 26th, 2025. Their demands centered on a meeting with Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg and a complete divestment of Norwegian funds from what they term the 'occupation.' The group, who have barricaded themselves within the ministry, refuse to leave until their demands are met. One activist, who did not wish to be identified, stated, "We will not leave until Norway stops funding the oppression of the Palestinian people." The protest comes amidst rising tensions in the region and highlights the growing international concern over the situation. The Norwegian government has yet to issue an official statement. The protest continues, and the situation remains fluid.
