OSLO, January 5, 2006, (WAFA)- Norwegian official called Thursday for boycotting the Israeli products, Norwegian media sources said.

The NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), said Thursday that the Finance Minister, Kristin Halvorsen, urged Norwegian consumers to boycott Israeli products.

The Norway Post paper said that Halvorsen's Socialist Left Party will begin a solidarity campaign for Palestinians at the end of the month.

Halvorsen says a boycott will visualize the displeasure with Israel's policy towards the Palestinians.

"My goal and that of the Socialist Left Party is that Norwegian consumers will avoid goods and services from Israel and make other choices in the stores," Halvorsen was quoted as saying.
