Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson let it slip Israel have the right to commit genocide in Gaza, Palestine.

This was revealed in a viral video on X’s account on Tuesday (22/11) evening.

“The Swedish Prime Minister last night ‘Israel has the right to commit genocide, but quickly corrected himself ‘um… the right to defend itself!, then people shouted,” wrote the caption on the video.

In the video, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, speaking on stage, said that Sweden and the European Union considered that Israel had the right to genocide.

“Sweden and the EU [Uni Eropa] judge that Israel has geno rights [genosida]…to survive,” said Ulf Kristersson.

Israeli aggression in Gaza has so far killed more than 14,000 Palestinians, including 5,600 women and 3,550 children as of Wednesday (22/11). Israel’s attacks on Palestinians since October 7 indicate genocide or acts of extermination of a group.

On the other hand, finally on Wednesday (23/11), Hamas and Israel agreed to a four-day ceasefire on the grounds of a humanitarian pause mediated by Qatar.

This agreement includes the release of hostages from Israel and Gaza. The deal also includes the possibility of more humanitarian aid coming to the area.

On this occasion, Marzouq said that the ceasefire would take effect tomorrow Thursday at 10.00 local time or around 15.00 WIB.

“There will be no warplanes or air traffic in Gaza from 10.00 am to 04.00 pm,” said Marzouq.

This ceasefire agreement emerged after Israel launched aggression for 47 days in Palestine. As a result of their attacks, more than 14,000 people in the country died.
