Carter snubbed by Israeli leaders
Israel's secret service has declined to assist US agents guarding former US President Jimmy Carter during a visit in which Israeli leaders have shunned him, US sources close to the matter said on Monday.
Carter angered the Israeli government with plans to meet Hamas' top leader, Khaled Meshaal, in Syria, and for describing Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territories as "a system of apartheid" in a 2006 book.
