Strike on Gaza aid workers put Poland-Israel ties 'to the test': Polish PM

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the deadly Israeli strike on World Central Kitchens (WCK) staff, killing a Polish citizen and six others, along with Israel's reaction, put the two countries' ties to the test.

"The vast majority of Poles showed full solidarity with Israel after the Hamas attack," he said on X. "Today you are putting this solidarity to a really difficult test."

"The tragic attack against volunteers and your reaction are generating an understandable anger," he added.

Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told Polish public radio Trojka it is "obvious something is wrong with the rules on the use of weapons by the Israeli army".

"You cannot [downplay] this matter by saying these things happen in war, as Netanyahu said yesterday," he added.

Additionally, district prosecutor Beata Starzecka told Poland's PAP news agency that prosecutors in Przemysl, the town killed aid worker Damian Sobol is from, are independently investigating his murder.
