Palestine: Zionist occupation soldiersSweden's foreign minister called for an enquiry on Tuesday into news that the Zionist occupation forces have carried out extrajudicial killings in clashes with Palestinians.

"It is vital that there are thorough, credible investigations into these deaths in order to clarify and bring about possible accountability," Margot Wallstrom told lawmakers.

Daily attacks have been taking place for the last three and a half months soldiers have killed 24 people. At least 140 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli army since mid-September.

Slamming the violence on both sides, Wallstrom said that that the UN high commissioner for human rights, as well as human rights groups, have raised concerns about possible "extrajudicial killings" by the Zionist entity.

Sweden has strained relations with the Zionist entity in 2014 recognized Palestinian statehood, and Wallstrom's comments on the Zionist-Palestinian conflict received angry responses from Zionist officials.
