British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook was pelted with protesters' epithets and snubbed by Netanyahu after he visited Jerusalem and met with a Palestinian official at a disputed Jewish housing project. The Israeli president cut short a meeting with Cook and canceled a dinner. The move follows days of harsh words between Israel and Britain over Cook's decision to lay a wreath at a Palestinian massacre site rather than make the usual diplomatic stop at a Holocaust memorial.
