Government officials and commentators in Israel described the report as anti-Semitic and libellous.
Above an article that quoted claims made by Palestinians, Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest-circulation daily newspaper, carried the headline: "Our sons are plundered for their organs". The article alleged Israeli authorities sanctioned such acts because of a shortage of organs in the country.
Daniel Seaman, who heads Israel's government press office, said the article played on "vile anti-Semitic themes".
Yigal Palmor, a foreign ministry spokesman, said officials had met Sweden's ambassador to Israel and had "protested" about the article. He said a formal complaint would be issued soon.
The Swedish embassy in Tel Aviv also condemned the article, saying that it was "as shocking and appalling to us Swedes as it is to Israeli citizens". Telegraph
