Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders has postponed a planned visit to Israel this week after it was made clear to him that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to meet him over Belgium's support of labeling settlements goods .
Reynders is the first European foreign minister to pay the price for the new Foreign Ministry measures , first reported in Yedioth Aharonth, taken against the countries that supported the EU decision to label settlement goods.
The Belgian foreign minister was behind a letter signed by 16 foreign ministers from the EU last April calling on the European Union's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to push forward new union-wide labeling guidelines.
Earlier this week, Netanyahu instructed the Foreign Ministry to suspend all ties with the EU with regards to the peace process.
