Troops kill Palestinian who tried to stab solders
Palestinians are angry at increasing violence by Israeli settlers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and their attacks on Palestinian properties, saying that the Tel Aviv regime seeks to change the status quo of the compound.
Mr Hotovely said: “Ms Wallstrom has consistently demonstrated bias against Israel”.
Sweden’s Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom called for a probe into the killings of Palestinians, shot dead after carrying out or attempting to carry out attacks against Israelis, during a Swedish parliament debate on Tuesday.
Israeli officials did not immediately respond.
Later, Sela clarified that only the Foreign Minister and her deputy would be prevented from Israel. “The Swedish Foreign Minister is suggesting that Israeli citizens offer up their necks to murders, who would stab them with their knives”.
Naz Shah’s comments come a day after Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wällstrom called for an investigation to determine whether Israel has been conducting extrajudicial executions of Palestinians during the current intifada. Human rights groups say their messages amount to a call for extrajudicial killings.
“I think what the Swedish foreign minister said is outrageous, I think it’s immoral, it’s unjust and it’s just wrong”, Netanyahu told members of the foreign press. In response, Israel recalled its ambassador, and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman warned that the Middle East is more complicated than a piece of furniture from Ikea, which was founded in Sweden.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry based in Ramallah, Friday’s deadly incidents bring the total number of Palestinians shot dead by Israeli forces since October 1, 2015 to 161, including 29 minors and seven women.
Hundreds more Palestinians have been injured since October past year, when Israeli forces intensified attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
One Palestinian official told Emily he wasn’t aware of a previous case like this one, where a staffer for the negotiating team was accused of spying for Israel.
