Israel Criticizes Sweden's view on Jerusalem
EU Presidency calls for the city "of Israel and the Palestinian capital "

Israel accuses Sweden of a diplomatic coup in order to change the status of Jerusalem , The newspaper Haaretz wrote that the reason is that Sweden as EU president stated call for Jerusalem "Israel and the Palestinian capital" in official documents , It is pre-empting the outcome of negotiations on a permanent solution consider Israel
The tension and irritation between Israel and Sweden continues , It started last summer with the Swedish government's refusal to distance it self from a controversial newspaper article about alleged Israeli organ theft and has developed into a protracted diplomatic crisis

Amended wording
Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem now claims that Sweden has initiated a change in the EU's choice of words in the sensitive issue of Jerusalem's future , The EU has long advocated a solution which implies that Jerusalem is the capital of both Israel and a future Palestinian state , The new irritating to Israel is that today also makes it into official records

Israeli Foreign Ministry called recent all EU ambassadors in the country to a meeting to protest against the change , The protest is directed primarily against Sweden which is considered to use its presidency to push through the new formulation , Sweden says it all has been coordinated with all EU countries

All according to the newspaper Haaretz which are often well informed about what is involved in the Israeli Foreign Service

Cooling between governments
Israeli foreign ministry stressed in the meeting that Sweden reduces the EU's ability to play an active role in the peace process said European diplomats told the paper

The emerging problem shows that the cold between the governments in Jerusalem and Stockholm continues to Carl Bildt in his capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of the EU presidency has not visited Israel and the Palestinian territories is also a sign of the strained relations
