Israel Is Conducting extrajudicial killings of Palestinians - Sweden

Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström caused another diplomatic crisis on Friday when she accused Israel of conducting "extrajudicial executions" of Palestinians committing terror attacks.

Wallström's comments were made during a discussion at the Swedish parliament about the ongoing wave of violence and terror attacks raging in Israel.

According to a report in Swedish newspaper Expressen, Wallström was asked by one of the members of parliament, Mathias Sundin, why she doesn't issue strong condemnations against terror attacks by Palestinians against Israelis.

Wallström said she was against the stabbing attacks. "I think it's terrible, and it must not happen. Israel has the right to defend itself, to ensure its safety," she said.

However, she added that Israel's response must not be that of "extrajudicial executions" of the terrorists on the scene of the attack, or a "disproportionate response" that makes "the number of dead on the other side greater than the original death toll by several factors."
