Poland summons Israeli ambassador over Holocaust memorial post

Poland summoned the Israeli ambassador over a tweet from the holocaust memorial institution Yad Vashem, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski wrote on social media platform X on Monday.

Sikorski was protesting against a social media post in which Yad Vashem wrote that Poland was the first country where Jews were forced to wear a distinctive badge in order to isolate them from the surrounding population.

He said the post should make it clear Poland was "German-occupied" at the time.
