(Times of Israel) The director general of Israel's Foreign Ministry, Dore Gold, reprimanded the Swedish ambassador to Israel Carl Magnus Nesser on Monday after Sweden's foreign minister appeared to draw a connection between the Paris attacks and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Margot Wallstrom, Sweden's minister of foreign affairs, told Sweden's state television: "Once again we return to situations like that in the Middle East, especially (concerning) Palestinians who think: There is no future for us, we must accept a desperate situation or resort to violence." Gold said, "Any connection between Islamic State terror and the Palestinian issue is baseless and that [the Swedish minister's] comments may be interpreted as a justification of Palestinian terror."
