Wallstrom says she is friend of Israel and Palestine

Wallstrom’s comments came during a question-answer period in parliament, after being challenged by lawmaker Jan Bjorklund over her perceived anti-Israel stance, Swedish media outlet Valrden Idag reports.

Wallstrom denied she is unbalanced toward Israel, saying Sweden is a friend both to Israel and to Palestine, according to the report.

During the debate, Bjorklund accused Wallstrom of complicating Stockholm’s ties with Jerusalem by recognizing Palestine.
