Ambassador Bill White had called an investigation into illegal circumcisions an ‘unacceptable harassment of the Jewish community’
“Personal attacks against a Belgian minister and interference in judicial matters violate basic diplomatic norms.”
National broadcaster VRT reported that Belgian authorities were investigating whether three men in Antwerp were performing circumcisions without certified medical training.
US Ambassador Bill White said on a social media post that this investigation was “unacceptable harassment of the Jewish community here in Antwerp and in Belgium”.
