Foreign Minister Jan Petersen warns Israel against taking any action against Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat.
Petersen made the statement after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced that he no longer felt bound by his earlier promise not to harm Arafat.-An action against Yassir Arafat will not serve to ensure Israel's security. On the contrary, Petersen says.
The leader of the Foreign Relations's Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, says the time has come for a Norwegian visit (of support) to the palestinian President.
-Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik or Foreign Minister Jan Petersen ought to pay a visit to Yassir Arafat. In this way Norway would signal that we would find it unprecedented if Israel should be planning an attack on an elected president, Thorbjoern Jagland (Labour) says.
The Norwegian reaction came after Sharon on Friday said that Israel no longer feels bound by its earlierpromise not to harm the elected Palestinian leader.
Later Friday, US Foreign Secretary Colin Powell warned Israel that the consequences of an attack against Arafat would be 'considerable'. Powwell said that in his opinion, Israel was still bound by the promise.
