During a visit to Israel and the West Bank in 2005 Jämtin called the wall between the two "Crazy and sick" and that she felt that a two state solution is impossible because of Israels actions, and that if Israel wants to build a wall it should do so in its own territory.[1] The comments received a lot of commentary from media in Sweden.[4] In September 2011, Jämtin along with Urban Ahlin voiced their support for a Swedish recognition of a Palestinian state.[2]
