’Israeli’ Government to Boycott Swedish FM Visit

Local Editor

Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström, known for her anti-"Israel" positions, plans to arrive in the "Israeli"-occupied territories and the lands under the Palestinian Authority on Thursday, but was told top "Israeli" officials have no time for her.

Wallström is a vocal critic of "Israel" and has made several controversial statements in the past. Her government also holds pro-Palestinian positions.

She previously accused "Israel" of conducting extrajudicial executions of Palestinians conducting resistance operations.

For her upcoming visit to the occupied territories, Wallström asked to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and with Zionist ministers but the official response she received was that the "Israeli" officials could not fit her into their schedule.

Government officials noted that this was merely an excuse, as Wallström was a persona non grata in "Israel."

Despite this, the Swedish foreign minister decided to go ahead with her planned visit and meet with officials in the Palestinian Authority.

This isn't the first time Wallström receives a cold shoulder from the "Israeli" apartheid government. She had eralier cancelled an official visit in January 2015 after "Israeli" officials refused to meet with her then as well.

At the time, Wallström harshly criticized the Zionist policies, which she dubbed extremely aggressive, adding that "Israel" had irritated close allies by over-reacting to Stockholm recognizing the state of Palestine, saying its rhetoric over the issue had crossed all limits.

The Swedish government is considered the most hostile to "Israel" among the European governments.

Some in the "Israeli" Foreign Ministry suggested in the past to close the "Israeli" Embassy in Stockholm.
