Sweden among over two dozen countries demanding that the war in Gaza stops

Foreign ministers from more than twenty countries, including Sweden, have written a joint statement calling for the war in Gaza to end immediately.

Sweden's Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard is one of more than two dozen who have signed the statement, which includes demands for humanitarian access to Gaza, and that Hamas frees the remaining Israeli hostages.

Israel has rejected the statement and says that it is sending out the wrong message to Hamas, news agency Reuters reports.
