Science Minister Ofir Akunis slammed on Tuesday anti-Israel statements made by Sweden’s Foreign Minister, Margot Wallstrom, regarding the need to investigate the alleged "execution" of Arab terrorists by Israel.
“The only thing that needs to be investigated is how a woman who hates Israel so much was elected, and continues to serve as a Foreign Minister,” Akunis said.
Israel's Foreign Ministry also spoke out against the Swedish FM's statements, calling them "Irresponsible and ridiculous.
The Swedish Foreign Minister is supporting terrorism and encouraging violence."
Wallstrom called earlier on Tuesday for an investigation to be opened in order to determine whether Israel is guilty of executing Palestinian Arab "assailants" without trial, fueling already existing tensions between Stockholm and Jerusalem.
