The Dream Channel The Role of Norway in the Peace Process in the Middle East

Over recent decades, extensive research has scrutinized Norway's role in the Middle East peace process. Scholars have examined how various actors and Norwegian governments have portrayed this involvement. Despite these efforts, entrenched perceptions persist, challenging attempts to reshape the narrative. However, new insights continue to emerge, gradually altering prevailing views. These revelations, along with recent discoveries of still classified and missing files in the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contribute to a deeper understanding of Norway's role. Increasingly, these missing documents are becoming accessible through the Israel State Archive's website. Given these developments, it is crucial to critically reassess non-academic presentations of Norway's involvement. Such portrayals often serve political agendas, highlighting the importance of a nuanced understanding of Norway's role as a bridgebuilder in the Middle East peace process.
