Sweden condemns attacks on Israelis
The foreign minister of Sweden, Margot Wallström, speaks out against Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israeli civilians. On her Twitter account, she says perpetrators should be prosecuted and calls on leaders to “act responsibly.”
Sweden was the first Western European nation to formally recognize the State of Palestine, which caused tensions at the time with the Israeli government.
Escalating violence in Jerusalem. Attacks against civilians unacceptable. Bring perpetrators to justice. Leaders must act responsibly.
