Norway, a big donor to the Palestinian Authority and sponsor of the Oslo peace accords, restored full relations with the PA after Haniyeh’s Hamas movement and President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction formed a unity government on Saturday.

Wasn’t one Oslo disaster enough? Remember that PA “President” Yasser Arafat recognized Israel during the Oslo debacle, but in July 2000 rejected Israel’s generous offer to end the conflict.
