Israel snubs EU foreign policy chief's visit.

Israel has signaled that EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell is not welcome to make an official visit to the country after he criticized Israel on several occasions in recent weeks. Borrell's article equated Israeli victims of Palestinian attacks with terrorists killed in Israeli army operations, which upset Israeli officials. Israel and the EU have repeatedly differed over Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, Israeli settlement construction, and the lack of progress in peace talks.
