Domestic. The Sweden Democrats want the Swedish government's headquarters in Rosenbad to hoist the Israeli flag. Now the party is accused of violating its own policy on foreign state flags.

On social media, foreign governments have been hailed by Swedish liberals after hoisting the Israeli flag on their government buildings during the ongoing conflict with Palestine.
So far, 145 people on the Palestinian side have been reported killed, of whom 41 children. Israel has reported ten deaths, including two children.
“The government offices in Vienna and Ljubljana have hoisted the Shield of David. Something for Rosenbad, maybe …?” writes the liberal Erik van der Heeg on Facebook.
There he gets a quick answer from the SD leader Mattias Karlsson:
“Australia has done the same. SD's Björn Söder has sent in a request for this to the government. Do not hold your breath waiting for it to happen though … “writes Karlsson in his comment.
Mattias Karlsson in turn receives a comment from the former SD top Patrik Ehn, who refers to the Sweden Democrats' own policy text on flags. It states that “authorities shall only carry the Swedish flag, any guest flags and authority-specific flags”.
Mattias Karlsson has not responded to the post from Patrik Ehn.
