Sweden announces ’special envoy‘ to Israeli-Palestinian conflict – FM Margot Wallstrom says new position signals country’s commitment to a Resolution | The Times of Israel
Sweden named a “special envoy” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Wednesday, amid signs that the US may retreat from its long-held support for a two-state solution. Israel responded to the announcement with derision.
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom, who was snubbed by Israeli officials during her last visit to the region in December over her perceived pro-Palestinian views, announced the new position during a parliamentary debate on foreign affairs.
