Bishop Svein Valle of Sør-Hålogaland has become the only sitting bishop to endorse a petition advocating for a boycott of Israel. This initiative has garnered support from over 100 clergy members who urge the Church of Norway to refrain from any actions that may be perceived as endorsing what they describe as "occupation" and "apartheid." Among the bishops of the church, Valle stands out as the sole signatory of the petition.

The Sør-Hålogaland diocese encompasses congregations located in Nordland county.

🔎 Fact Check

The post accurately states that Bishop Svein Valle is the only sitting bishop to support a petition for a boycott of Israel, backed by over 100 clergy members. However, the context of the boycott and its implications are not fully explored in the search results, making the broader claims about "occupation" and "apartheid" potentially misleading without additional context.
