The extra judicial killing concern was raised by Sweden's Foreign Mister, Margot Wallstrom.
Some Swedish politicians said this about her.

"The statement provoked a strong reaction across the political spectrum with deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely declaring Wallström persona non grata, stating that her Swedish colleague was "de facto supporting" terrorism via "a terrible combination of foolishness and diplomatic stupidity."

Science, Technology and Space Minister Ofir Akunis went further, suggesting that, instead, there should be an investigation into "how a woman who so bluntly hates Israel was elected and still holds the role of foreign minister of Sweden."

Swedish Government,
"Economic relations between Sweden and Israel are in a positive stage of development and we see a clear increase in the numbers of business-related visits and inquires.

The Swedish Government actively promotes such contacts. Lately Israel has received several delegations from Sweden with businessmen and senior officials to develop co-operation in a wide range of fields, including hi-tech, IT, telecommunications, biotech, environmental technology, infrastructure and consumer goods.

We want to develop trade – in both directions "
