European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas compared Israel to apartheid-era South Africa in closed-door meetings held in Mexico, the European news site Euractiv reported. Kallas, who previously served as Estonia's prime minister, told Mexican government officials in private meetings about her visit last year to South Africa and the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, drawing parallels between Israel's treatment of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and in Judea and Samaria to the racial segregation policies implemented in the African nation.
