Israel has barred German author Günter Grass from entering the country.
The move is in response to a poem by Grass that accuses Israel of being a threat to world peace and compares Israel’s nuclear potential to Iran’s.
The poem was published in a German newspaper last week.
It ignited controversy in both Germany and Israel.
