"The conflict between Israel and Palestine can only be solved with a two-state solution,"
he said during his inaugural address in parliament.
It should be "negotiated in accordance with international law",

For the life of me, I don't understand why Palestine is a state that other countries refuse to recognize. I understand Israel is a powerful country, a country where other equally powerful nations have significant financial investments. I guess the investment is equated to silence on Israel's atrocities toward Palestinians. It's amazing to me how people can have blatant disregard for human life. Anyway, Sweden's recognition of Palestine is long overdue but don't expect this to become a popular trend at all.

Saladin had embarked on a holy war to eliminate Christian control over Jerusalem.
After the Battle of Hattin, Saladin, following the predominant military theory of the time,
moved rapidly against as many of the weak Christian centers as possible, offering generous
terms if they would surrender, while at the same time avoiding long sieges.
This policy had the benefit of leading to the rapid conquest of almost every crusader site,
including the peaceful Muslim liberation of Jerusalem in October 1187.
