At lunchtime, the chairman of the culture and leisure committee, Sebastian Jaktling (S), announced that the matter would be removed from this evening's meeting. According to Jaktling, S and M want to remove the issue from the agenda.

The case must be prepared well, according to Jaktling.

"During the past week, issues have been raised that need to be further clarified and therefore the case is being closed. This is not a position on the matter," he wrote in a text message to SVT Nyheter Skåne .

On March 9, S, M and L announced that they intend to end the Palestinian writer's year of sanctuary early following Expressen's reporting that she had praised Hamas in social media posts. She herself said that the posts had been taken out of context.
