Belgium has summoned US Ambassador Bill White following his comments on a local investigation into illegal circumcisions. Authorities in Antwerp are probing if three men performed circumcisions without proper medical training. The US ambassador described this probe as “unacceptable harassment of the Jewish community here in Antwerp and in Belgium” on social media. Belgian spokesperson Prevot responded, saying, “An ambassador accredited to Belgium has a responsibility to respect our institutions, our elected representatives, and the independence of our judicial system.” Prevot added, “Personal attacks against a Belgian minister and interference in judicial matters violate basic diplomatic norms.” The incident marks a rare diplomatic row between the two nations, highlighting tensions around the investigation.
