Israel's bid to join the African Union as an Observer State on Saturday began on a wrong footing after security agents ejected members of its delegation for entering a closed-door meeting without proper accreditation.
The African Union later indicated the delegation hadn't been accredited to the meeting and were asked to leave “on protocol reasons,” according to an official familiar with the incident.
