Polish ambassador to Israel facing formal disciplinary action after criticism by Poland's foreign ministry

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has summoned the Polish ambassador to Israel for an official reprimand following critical remarks made by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the Polish Foreign Ministry. 

Saar slammed what he claimed were "outrageous references to concentration camps" and accusations that Israel is weaponising hunger. 

"Israel strongly rejects these accusations, and expects Poland to refrain from using language that distorts history and denigrates the memory of the victims of the Holocaust," his statement added.
