Norwegian tabloid VG wanted to put an end to the Shada case and “give her peace”. The parents are not said to agree with VG’s presentation. They will not speak to VG and VG does not ask what may be the reason for this. Now new things are coming to light, matters that VG must have known about and which point in a completely different direction than the doctor in the white coat.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA had on 31 August a story about Shada’s strange death written by Ehab Rimawi. Here it states that the parents were informed by the police that Shada had been killed.

The Palestinian ambassador Marie-Antoinette Seidin tells WAFA that the Norwegian police have informed her that Shada was subjected to murder, but that it was not clear what had happened. They will perhaps get the answer when the forensic report is available.
Seidin says it is difficult for the Palestinian authorities to do anything, since the family are Norwegian citizens.

This is in the story dated 31 August.

But on 3 September WAFA issues a new story, about a meeting between ambassador Marie-Antoinette Sedin and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where they discussed the murder of Shada. (The name is spelled with and without i)

Seidin discussed the circumstances of the murder of Barghouti and the family’s situation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said there was limited information they could provide since Shada was a Norwegian citizen. She had even been given another name, Lisa Anderson. No credible explanation for the name change has ever emerged.

VG claimed that Seidin later said it was poor communication with the police that led her to believe Shada had been killed. Now she denies something WAFA quoted her on:

– I have seen that there is a lot of misinformation and rumours about this case. But I cannot comment on the cause of death. I have not said that Shada was killed, says ambassador Marie Antoinette Sedin today.

VG lets Seidin get away with this and does not confront her with the fact that she herself approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the beginning of September 2019 to talk about the Shada case.

It is the first time it has emerged that Sedin approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked for help to shed light on the death.

Not long afterwards President Mahmoud Abbas came on a visit.

The Conservative Party leadership “believes” that Shada was not a topic when Abbas met Foreign Minister Eriksen Søreide.

But how common is it for a Palestinian girl to lose her life at a state child welfare institution?

– Neither Eriksen Søreide nor Solberg believes that Shada’s death was raised in the meeting. We otherwise refer to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for further details about the meeting, writes the party leadership.

They write “believes”, which is the same as “cannot remember”, or that it is convenient to forget. Abroad it is customary not to take denials at face value if they cannot be documented.

If the Norwegian state is involved in Shada’s death it will be very difficult to get any answers out.
VG seems most concerned with putting the ball to death.

Aid to the Palestinian areas this year amounts to 2 billion. The balance of power is uneven. The Palestinian authorities rarely challenge the Norwegians.

But now the Djuve Commission is working to investigate the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Shada case has points of contact with the Epstein case. It is really about corruption: When Ine Eriksen Søreide was Foreign Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a tip in December 2019 that Terje Rød-Larsen’s peace centre IPI was a clearinghouse for the recruitment of young girls to Epstein’s “agency”. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs forwarded the case to the Southern District of New York Attorney’s Office.

In December 2019 Epstein was dead in his cell in Manhattan. There were no costs associated with raising the case. Epstein no longer had any strings to pull. But perhaps it was their own people they were supposed to protect? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had many skeletons in the cupboard.

Was the Shada case one of them?

Shada died in Norwegian child welfare residence under suspicious circumstances
