The Deputy Director-General for European Affairs in the Israeli Foreign Aviv Sherwin summoned Ambassador Carl Magnus Nesser, and expressed his protest Israel and disappointed by the decision of Swedish Prime Minister Stephen Leuven recognition of the state of Palestine, according to the ministry. Sherwin and warned that the move will not contribute to improving the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians, but will make it worse. He said that the statements of the art will reduce the chances of reaching an agreement, because it creates the Palestinians impractical expectation that they can achieve their goal unilaterally rather than through negotiations with Israel. Israel asserts that the Palestinians will not receive the promised state only through direct negotiations and not through other diplomatic channels. Sherwin added that the decision of the Swedish Prime Ministers newly elected to focus on the Palestinian issue is surprising, due to the unrest and wars and the daily acts of terrorism, which takes place in the region. Did not comment the Swedish Embassy in Israel to the meeting, which took place three days after the announcement of the art during his inauguration speech before parliament. He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liebermans remarks to the art, while welcomed by the Palestinian Authority. According to the census of the AFP, the 112 countries at least recognized the State of Palestine. However, the Palestinian Authority are talking about 134 countries, including seven members of the European Union (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta and Cyprus). Leuven said Friday that the two-state solution requires mutual recognition and the will for peaceful coexistence. Consequently Van Sweden will recognize the state of Palestine, without specifying the date. He had earlier upheld the Stockholm status for Palestine a non-member observer state at the UN General 2012 but rejected last year of its accession to the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO).
