I guess some people on this site may be upset with me because of my less than enthusiastic view of the new Swedish government. So I think I will let it - in this case Mr Bildt - speak with his own words:

From Dagens Nyheter:

Carl Bildt har varit kritisk mot bojkotten av den palestinska Hamasledda regeringen, och förra veckan var han en av undertecknarna av ett internationellt upprop i denna fråga.

- Läget har sedan dess försämrats. I går träffade jag i korthet EU:s utrikestalesman Javier Solana och diskuterade de utmaningar vi står inför och de är massiva, säger Bildt som tycker att EU bör hålla en högre profil i Mellanöstern, "och kan Sverige bidra till detta ska vi göra det".

My translation: "Carl Bildt has been critical of the boycott of the Palestinian Hamas led government, and last week he was one of the signatories of an international call for action (on this question). "

"Since then the situation has worsened. I met Javier Solana, the foreign affairs spokesman and discussed the massive challenges that confront us, says Bildt, who thinks EU should show a high profile in the Middle East, "and Sweden can help making it so".
