Ambassador Isaac Bachman "will remain in Jerusalem until further notice," Haaretz said, citing a Foreign Ministry official. According to the newspaper, Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is considering permanently removing Bachman from his position in Stockholm.
According to the Swedish SVT broadcaster, Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom is familiar with the reports, but has not received any official confirmation.
"If this is correct, it is totally unexpected. Israel is using its diplomatic policy tools. But it is clear that it is unfortunate," she is cited as saying by SVT.
Earlier on Thursday, Wallstrom announced that Sweden would become the 135th country officially recognize the Palestinian state. Most European Union members and the United States have not given their official recognition, though some EU members recognized Palestine before joining the union.
Wallstrom stated that Sweden expected criticism from Israel, but hoped the move would be received "in a balanced and constructive way" and that the countries' "excellent cooperation" would continue.
Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman issued a statement following the announcement, calling Sweden's decision unfortunate and claiming that it "strengthens radical elements and Palestinian recalcitrance".
If you were on the up and up, meaning legitimate, why would you care? Why is it so important that nations do not consider Palestinians legitimate?
Who, of all nations, should be more than willing to allow persecuted nations to be considered legitimate, if not the Jews?
Apparently the lie that is the Jews is under reveal, particularly if the incredible crimes against humanity this gypsy nation has committed were to be uncovered. Lets not forget the indigenous dead that are a direct result from the funded missions of Jewish bankers.
Or they are the chosen people of god and can just claim ownership and walk all over life without question.
Christ said no, and any man that has the bells to act as Christ says no too.
