"The conflict between Israel and Palestine can only be solved with a two-state solution, negotiated in accordance with international law. A two-state solution requires mutual recognition and a will to peaceful co-existence. Sweden will therefore recognize the state of Palestine", Lofven said during his inaugural address in parliament.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that he regrets the newly-inaugurated Prime Minister’s “hasty” remarks, saying that Lofven “apparently has not yet had sufficient time to study the matter,” a statement posted on the ministry’s website reads.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nashon said the ambassador Magnus Nesser would be summoned to the Ministry.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki also expressed dissatisfaction with the Swedish Prime Minister's statement.
“It's not the US that decides our politics,” Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström said.
