Poland negatively appreciated the response of the attorney in Israel’s affairs from Warsaw after the adoption of the law on the restitution of the property of the Jews and stated that he would take symmetric political and diplomatic measures in response. This is stated in the message of the Polish Foreign Ministry, which leads TASS.
“Poland MFA negatively assesses the actions of the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the unreasonable decision to lower the rank of diplomatic missions in Warsaw,” stressed in the foreign policy department.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that the steps taken by Israel are seriously damaged by relations between countries.
Previously, Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid instructed an attorney in the affairs of the Jewish state in Poland to return to the country “for indefinite consultations”. According to him, the head of the dipmission was recalled due to the signing of the “anti-Semitic and immoral” law, limiting the right of Jews to restrict the property. He also recommended the Polish ambassador not to return to the country and continue vacation at home.
