Frp Opposes LO's Decision on Israel Boycott

On Friday, the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) approved a significant expansion of its boycott against Israel, citing the ongoing conflict in Palestine as the primary reason for this action. This decision has drawn criticism from the Progress Party (Frp), with Deputy Leader Hans Andreas Limi expressing strong opposition. In a statement to NRK, Limi remarked that LO's resolution reflects its growing role as a political entity capable of influencing the policies of the Labour Party and the government, particularly through its participation in the Labour Party's decision-making bodies. He emphasized that Frp does not support a unilateral boycott of Israel and lamented that the government's Middle East policy has hindered any potential contributions to resolving the conflict. For further details on the recent resolutions from the LO congress, additional information is available.
