Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir commented: "I was shocked to hear that the Swedish police approved the burning of a Jewish Bible front of the Israeli embassy under the guise of "freedom of expression". Damage to the sacred objects of Judaism is not freedom of speech, but antisemitism. I call on my colleagues, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eli Cohen, to exert all his weight against the regime and the government in Sweden, which is dealing with extremist Islam that threatens to take over its country and prevent the burning of the Jewish Bible. If they do not agree to the request of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, action must be taken to return our ambassador to Israel."
