Swedish minister resigns over comparing Israel to Nazis
Sweden’s housing minister resigns over comments he made in 2009 comparing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to the experiences of the Jews under Nazi Germany, Reuters reports.
Mehmet Kaplan’s resignation comes days after Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet reports the remarks, made before he entered the center-left government as a representative of junior coalition partner the Green Party.
