The Norwegian Foreign Minister demanded on Friday the Palestinian Authority (PA) return funds the country had contributed for a woman’s center the PA named for a terrorist.
“The glorification of terrorist attacks is completely unacceptable, and I deplore this decision in the strongest possible terms. Norway will not allow itself to be associated with institutions that take the names of terrorists in this way. We will not accept the use of Norwegian aid funding for such purposes,” Foreign Minister Borge Brende said in a statement on Friday.
“We have asked for the logo of the Norwegian representation office to be removed from the building immediately, and for the funding that has been allocated to the center to be repaid,” he said. “We will not enter into any new agreements with either the Palestinian Election Commission or UN Women in Palestinian areas until satisfactory procedures are in place to ensure that nothing of this nature happens again.”

The center in Burqa, near Ramallah, was opened earlier this month. It was named after Dalal Mughrabi, who, with several other Palestinian terrorists, landed on a beach near Tel Aviv in 1978, hijacked a bus on Israel’s Coastal Road and killed 38 civilians, 13 of them children, and wounded over 70.
The issue was brought to Norway’s attention by the Norwegian branch of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ).
“The Palestinian Authority undermines the quest for peace in this region, and violates all standards of human decency, when it decides to glorify and perpetuate the despicable legacies of terrorists like Dalal Mughrabi,” ICEJ President Jürgen Bühler said. “The Norwegian government acted properly when it condemned this immoral action by the Palestinian Authority.”
