It would be a powerful statement against Israel's warfare, according to Morgan Johansson, foreign policy spokesperson for The Moderate Party.
We are reached every day by new and dreadful information about what is happening. This will be one of the worst war crimes during the post-war period, he says.
The government's actions so far in the matter are not enough, according to The Moderate Party.
It is not enough to, like the government, mumble, but one must use the most powerful diplomatic instruments one has, and that is to call up the ambassador and present one's protests eye to eye. That should have been done immediately when the offensive began.
If a large number of countries act in the same way, it increases the pressure on Israel and can have an effect, Johansson believes.
Israel needs to feel that it has a cost to break international law, commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Also, when it comes to the war of words with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the government should take a firm stance, Johansson thinks. Among other things, Orbán has written on X that the Swedish government is not Hungary's friend.
One should raise the entire discussion with Hungary about what the dependency relationships look like in Europe. Sweden is a large net contributor in the EU while Hungary is a large net recipient – one should be able to expect a certain gratitude.
