Svenska utrikesministern får inte träffa israeliska ledare

Utrikesminister Margot Wallström kommer att resa till Israel på torsdag. Wallström har önskat att få träffa israeliska ministrar under besöket men det har inte gått att "samordna ministrarnas tidtabeller så att det skulle ha varit möjligt".
I verkligheten är det antagligen så att efter de Israelfientliga uttalanden Wallström tidigare gjort har israeliska ledare inget intresse att möta henne.

A Foreign Ministry official told Haaretz that while Wallstrom had reached out to try and arrange meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other ministers, she had been informed that these would not be possible due to schedule considerations.

But the unnamed official added that official Israel was simply uninterested in meeting with Wallstrom due to her government’s positions on the conflict as well as her own past comments.

“We’ve reached the conclusion that there’s no one to talk to and nothing to talk about,” he said.
