Diplomatic crisis erupts between Poland and Israel following killing of Polish aid worker in Gaza

A new diplomatic crisis between Poland and Israel has erupted following the death of a Polish aid worker in Gaza. The Polish president on Thursday denounced a comment by the Israeli ambassador as “outrageous” and the Foreign Ministry in Warsaw said it was summoning him for a meeting. Amid shock in Poland over the death of the charity worker, Israel’s ambassador to Poland, Yacov Livne, pushed back at what he said were attempts by the “extreme right and left in Poland” to accuse Israel of “intentional murder in the attack.” He said on social media on Tuesday that “anti-Semites will always remain anti-Semites." The Polish president and prime minister criticized the comment.
