Yvonne Ruwaida (born 14 August 1970 in Göttingen, Lower Saxony, Germany) is a Swedish Green Party politician of Palestinian origin. She was a member of the Parliament of Sweden from 1994 to 2006.[1]
As a member of parliament, Ruwaida together with Mariam Osman Sherifay (Social democrats) invited two representatives of the Palestinian organization Hamas, which at the time was categorized as a terrorist organization by the EU. The invitees were a group leader in the Palestine parliament and a relative of a Hamas leader which had been killed.[2][3][4]
From 2006 until 2010, she was the leader of the Greens in the city council in Stockholm Municipality, where they were part of the opposition. Since then, she is vice-convener of the Green Party's central directorate.
According to terror scholar Magnus Ranstorp, Ruwaida is opposed to strengthening the anti-terror legislation in Sweden.[5]
