German development minister said Israel has made a 'large foreign
policy mistake' by barring him from visiting the Gaza Strip.
Germany sharply criticized Israel on Sunday for denying its
development minister entry to the Gaza Strip to visit a humanitarian
project co-funded by Berlin.
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he regretted Israel's
decision, while Development Minister Dirk Niebel - who is on a four-
day trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories -- said it was "a
big diplomatic mistake".
