Summary
Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is under fire from Israel’s Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who accuses her of spreading a “blood libel” after reports she likened Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to apartheid South Africa. Levin has severed all contact with her until she retracts the remarks. Kallas responded diplomatically, emphasizing EU-Israel common ground and support for a two-state solution, while condemning West Bank settlements—but Levin insists she must either confirm or deny the claims outright. Tensions are escalating as EU leaders gather in Brussels, with some nations like Czechia resisting tougher sanctions against Israel, revealing deep divisions within the bloc over how to handle the crisis.
