Up to three years in prison: Norway prepares to pass bill banning trade with West Bank settlements...

Norway is advancing legislation that would criminalize trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with penalties of up to three years in prison. Comparable measures already exist in Canada under its Special Economic Measures Act, carrying up to five years imprisonment, and in the United Kingdom with penalties reaching ten years.

The proposed Norwegian bill targets economic activity involving settlement goods and services, aligning with broader international efforts to restrict commerce in those areas.
