Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard yesterday called for "taking new steps, including changes to our trade relations with Israel" in order to force it to make concessions in its talks with the Palestinians.

Danish newspaper Jyllands- Posten reported Lidegaard calling for "imposing Danish and European sanctions on Israel", noting the commercial sanctions are "vital".

"If nothing happens in the peace talks this time, and if we don't see a new pattern of response from Israel's side, then we will need to discuss the possibility of taking new steps, including changes to our trade relations with Israel," he said.

"I hope that it doesn't come to that, but I think that the EU's policies are moving in that direction," he said.

Lidegaard's remarks coincided with his planned visit to Egypt this week. Al-ArabiAl-Jadeed newspaper reported sources saying such clear and open remarks would be discussed by EU foreign ministers.

Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed said that through his visit to Egypt, Lidegaard is planning to have a close look at the ongoing talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

In the same context, the newspaper said that Lidegaard is travelling to Egypt with proposals, including placing international observers in Gaza and lifting the siege to guarantee free movement for goods and people into and out of the Strip.

Lidegaard's remarks are considered unprecedented in his country. Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt refused to criticise Israel during its war on the Gaza Strip.

Spokesman of the Red-Green Party and Member of the Danish Parliament Nikolaj Villumsen supported Lidegaard's remarks calling them "correct".

Villumsen said that this is a correct measure and his party would support it. "Israel has to understand the consequences of breaching international law and the rights of the Palestinians," he said. "We call for the foreign minister to translate his remarks to actions."

Other Danish politicians announced their support for the foreign minister's remarks, while others opposed and criticised them.

Head of the Danish Conservative People's Party Lars Barfoed strongly criticised Lidegaard's remarks and said he was surprised the prime minister had remained silent.

Barfoed noted that imposing sanctions on "the only democracy in the region is wrong".

and this

Danish People's Party founded in 1995 as a breakaway from the unruly anarcho-libertarian and xenophobic Progress Party (among the most ironically named parties ever) DPP has transformed itself into one of the most successful right wing populist parties in Europe. Expected to decline after party creator and brilliant communicator Pia Kjærgård stepped down as leader, but her replacement academic Kristian Thulesen Dahl has actually moved it's support to an even higher level. Thulesen Dahl can promise the moon and all criticism evaporates into thin air. He has never held a regular job, but manages to be seen as the champion of ordinary hardworking people. After a formidable Euro-election the party is still around 20% in the polls come Christmas time and has even been the biggest party in a couple of them. Thin on the ground but with a top notch communication team around press manager Søren Søndergård and with Teflon Thulesen and a couple of reliable veteran MPs in charge. They have managed to move to the center on socioeconomic issues and actually go left of SD on some issues, but the party has large internal fault lines between genuine right wingers and former SDs, which the party leadership may not be able to bridge for ever. The preferred option for pensioners and invalides the party is seen as a stalwart of public welfare, but helped cut the period for receiving unemployment benefits in half prior to the last election. Euroscepticism is fast becoming as important a trademark as opposition to immigration. Harbours a small and vicious SoCon wing, which the rest of the party ignores so far, but may need to quell if they become too much of a liability. Staunchly pro-Zionist and with ties back to the so called right wing-complex of the Danish resistance movement. Also good friends with KMT in Taiwan and parts of the Tory right wing.
