Top Israeli figures have expressed outrage after Swedish police granted permission to allow a woman to burn a Jewish holy book.

For a second time, authorities in Stockholm granted permission for the burning to take place outside the Israeli embassy.

The event took place on Friday afternoon but the woman only burned a piece of paper.

In an application, the female protester stated in her application that the gathering is a “manifestation for children’s rights in Sweden that are systematically violated.”
