German Nobel Laureate Günter Grass Banned From Israel Over Poem

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.
