Margot Wallstrom called for ‘thorough and credible investigations’ into the deaths of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom called for a probe to determine whether Israeli forces were guilty of extrajudicial killings of Palestinians
Relations between the two have nose-dived since Sweden’s Social Democrat-led government recognized a Palestinian state last year
Swedish Foreign Minister denounced the almost daily Palestinian knife, gun or car-ramming attacks but urged Israel to avoid overkill
Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom had said she was ‘going to pursue a feminist foreign policy’

Sweden became the first major European country to take such a move
