The EU's top diplomate Kaja Kallas has responded after Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar said he had "no choice but to sever all contact" with her over reports that she compared Israel to South Africa's former racist apartheid regime.
Kallas reportedly made the remark during a trip to Mexico in May, where she met with senior Mexican government officials as part of an EU push to further cooperation with Latin America.
"To date, no denial, clarification or response has been issued by her regarding this severe statement," Sa'ar posted on social media earlier on Thursday.
