It is wrong, premature and counterproductive, says SD's Aron Emilsson, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, to Expressen.
He believes that the decision plays into the hands of the terrorist group Hamas.
It risks political and economic influence and playing into Hamas' hands during ongoing negotiations. The consequences for the European part are also not clarified, says Emilsson.
The government announced on Thursday that it demands that the EU freeze the trade agreement with Israel to increase pressure on the country to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Also the Christian Democratic EU parliamentarian Alice Teodorescu Måwe directs criticism against the government.
The government and the EU should focus on Hamas. It is Hamas that has started and is driving this war, and perceives it as the Western world wavering and that is problematic, she says to SR.
