According to
Al-Ghad News, Safadi stressed the need for Israel to stop all measures that undermine
the historical and legal status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque, including extremist
incursions. He regarded the decision to stop non-Muslims from entering the
compound during the last ten days of the
holy month of Ramadan, a step in the
right direction.
Safadi and
Hoetfeld agreed that work must also be done to find a real political horizon to
return to serious and effective negotiations to resolve the Palestinian issue
on the basis of the two-state solution and in accordance with international
law.
Norway currently occupies
a non-permanent seat in the Security Council. Safadi valued its role in support
of the two-state solution and its efforts to reactivate the peace process.
