Warsaw: Poland on Monday remembered his ambassador with Israel two days after Jerusalem did the same for Polish laws which limited world war claims II, which had been slammed by Israel as “anti-Semit”.
President Andrzej Duda on Saturday approved by laws that would greatly limit property claims confiscated by the state after World War II.

“Ambassador to Israel will remain in the country (Poland) until further notice,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Monday.
That step occurred, he said, in response to “Israeli state actions that cannot be justified recently, including unfounded decisions to reduce the level of diplomatic relations” and “statements that are unacceptable” by Israeli Foreign Minister, among others.
“The decision on the permanent level of Poland’s diplomatic representation in Israel will be made in the following days,” said the statement, adding that Warsaw would not send deputies of ambassadors.
