I think that both I and others with me are celebrating it, he says in connection with a debate in the Riksdag.
He believes that the killing could be a step closer to Hamas being defeated.
Hamas has been a plague and a scourge for both Israel and the Palestinians for very many years, so it's incredibly delightful.
If Yahya Sinwar had been captured and put on trial, Forssell would have been even happier.
Then I would have popped the champagne, he says.
"Must rush on"
Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) says that she personally does not celebrate when people die.
No, I never celebrate when people die. I must rush on and didn't hear that. You'll have to ask him, she says about Forssell's statement.
In the Riksdag debate, the Foreign Minister thinks that the Social Democrats' member Ola Möller equated Israel's and Russia's ambassadors.
Möller questioned why Israel's ambassador "strutted around" in the Riksdag last week, while Russia's ambassador had not been welcome.
Then it would have taken hell to the house. Israel's ambassador is still welcome, but not Russia's – it's not playing by the same rules based on international law, he said.
Maria Malmer Stenergard reacts strongly.
It would be interesting to hear if it's the Social Democrats' opinion or just Ola Möller's misstep.
"Tasteless, disgusting"
The Foreign Minister says that the S-member doesn't seem to take seriously the terrorist attack that Hamas carried out against Israel on October 7, which started the war.
Because there also arises a right for Israel to defend itself. Unlike Russia, which has completely unprovokedly entered a peaceful neighboring country. Therefore, it's not comparable. It's tasteless and disgusting.
On the question of how Hamas leader Sinwar's death may affect the war, she answers that it's difficult to say.
He was the brain behind the disgusting terrorist attacks on October 7. There is reason to once again raise the demand that the hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally.
Does this mean that Hamas is defeated?
It's too early to speculate about that, we'll have to follow the development very closely.
