Israel's government has remained notably silent over Norway's decision on August 11 to partially divest investments in several Israeli companies, triggered by ethical concerns over the war in Gaza.

The Nordic country's $2 trillion (€1.71 trillion) sovereign wealth fund said it would withdraw investments from 11 firms linked to Israel and terminate contracts with asset managers operating in the country. The fund launched an urgent review after media reports that it had invested in a firm that makes parts for Israeli military fighter jets.
