RAMALLAH, Feb 21 (JMCC) - The Israeli Embassy in Oslo, Norway was officially notified that it must move to another location within a year according to Israeli media, signaling a deteriorating relationship between the two countries.

The authorities in Norway are capitulating to public opinion that is hostile to Israel, a Foreign Ministry official said, They are doing everything they can to make things more difficult on the embassy.

According to the Norwegians, the embassy poses a security threat to its surroundings and has had a negative impact on the residents' quality of life.

When the embassy moved to its current location more than a decade ago, a wall was erected around the site in accordance with Israeli security demands. The Oslo Municipality granted a special permit for the wall's construction on the condition that the embassy would be relocated after a decade and that the wall would be torn down.
