JERUSALEM: The European Union said Monday that it canceled a diplomatic reception to prevent a radical ultranationalist Israeli minister from attending.
The act of protest by the EU’s delegation to Israel against a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the most religious and ultranationalist in the country’s history, could cause a diplomatic spat between Israel and the EU.
Relations already have been strained over Israeli policies in the occupied West Bank.
