Swedish Foreign Minister not welcome to Israel

Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Margot Wallstrom, has had to postpone an official visit to the country.

A spokesperson for Israel’s foreign ministry said Sweden's foreign minister was not welcome for an official visit to the country, with relations strained over Sweden's recognition of Palestine. Sweden's decision in October to recognize the state of Palestine — the first major EU nation to do so — infuriated Israel, which temporarily recalled its ambassador to Stockholm. The Israeli foreign ministry spokesman told Swedish Radio “What Sweden did was an utterly unfriendly action.”
