Israel cuts all contact with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas

Israel has cut off all communication with Kaja Kallas, the European Union's foreign policy chief, citing her persistent and unfair criticism of the country. The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced the decision, with the Foreign Minister accusing Kallas of acting with "obsessive" and "flagrantly unjust" behavior towards Israel.

The ministry's statement did not specify which of Kallas's actions prompted the severe diplomatic step. However, Kallas has been a vocal critic of Israeli policies, particularly concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Her public statements have often called for accountability and adherence to international law, which has drawn criticism from Israeli officials in the past.

This rupture in communication signifies a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and the EU's diplomatic service. It reflects deep-seated disagreements over regional issues and raises questions about the future of EU-Israel relations at the highest diplomatic levels. The EU has yet to issue a formal response to Israel's decision.
