Swedish Foreign Affairs Ministry Backs Ship to Gaza's Opposition to Gaza
Blockade
SUBMITTED BY ROBERT NAIMAN ON 21 OCTOBER 2012 - 10:55AM
This is a translation of part of a Swedish press report. I am responsible
for the translation, in consultation with the Swedish media team of the
Estelle.

The Swedish Government and the EU insist that there is a severe
> humanitarian situation in Gaza and that the border crossings must be
> opened; this is a position that happens to coincide with the "Ship to Gaza"
> position. Given that we believe that the blockade should be broken, it
> would have been reasonable that the boat should have been allowed to
> proceed, says MFA's press officer Anders Jörle to DN.se.
