Top Norwegian diplomat says discussions on Gaza’s day after taking place at UNGA
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide tells Al Jazeera that conversations are taking place behind closed doors on ending the war in Gaza, building upon a roadmap put forward in the so-called New York Declaration in July that has been endorsed by 142 member states.
“In order to move forward with stopping the war, we also need to see what is going to happen on the day after,” he said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
“Just turning the clock back to October 6, 2023, is not a solution. Who is going to run Gaza? To what extent is this connected to the Palestinian Authority? Who will back it up? All of these things are being discussed right now.”
“Those of us who are closest to the Israeli position are beginning to understand that we cannot just continue with this endless, senseless war, and that includes the United States,” he added.

He said President Donald Trump’s 21-point peace plan had been presented to some leaders on Tuesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
