On May 18, 1989, the Icelandic parliament resolved to endorse the Association's major goals, including both Israel's right to existence and the claim of Palestinians to nationhood.

[14] On May 19, 2019, the Icelandic band Hatari endorsed the Palestinian cause during the final of the Eurovision Song Contest held in Tel Aviv, Israel.

[15] On 15 September 2015, Reykjavík City Council voted to boycott Israeli goods in municipal purchasing, in response to a motion tabled by Björk Vilhelmsdóttir.

[16] The move provoked swift and at times vitriolic criticism from supporters of Israel's handling of the Palestinian question, and on September 23 an extraordinary Reykjavík City Council meeting was called to withdraw the proposal.

[17] The government of Iceland had immediately distanced itself from the motion, and Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson called it "ridiculous".
