Gideon Saar is the foreign minister of Israel. He ends the contact to Kaja Kallas. Kaja Kallas is a politician for the European Union. She spoke about Israel. She used the word apartheid. Apartheid means a strict separation of human groups.
Kallas said this in Mexico. She spoke about the actions of Israel in the West-Jordan-Land. She also spoke about the Gaza-Strip. Saar calls these words a lie. He wants an apology.
Kallas wrote on the internet site X. She wants to talk again. She does not deny the words. The European Union criticizes Israel often. This is about the building of settlements. These settlements are against the law of all nations.
There is also criticism in Germany. A person from the UN is worried. She speaks about the freedom of speech. She dislikes bans against activists. Germany rejects these accusations. The protection against hate towards Jews is very important.
