Stockholm
– Sweden’s main public broadcaster apologized for an article that tied President
Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital to the strength of
the “Jewish Lobby.”
In a
broadcast Wednesday immediately following Trump’s address about Jerusalem, the
broadcaster SVT asserted that the “Jewish Lobby in the US is incredibly
strong,” and said the lobby “has championed this issue for a long time.”
“It
was an unfortunate choice of words that immediately was corrected by our senior
news commentator,” Charlotta Friborg, executive editor and publisher SVT News, said.
