Polish officials seek Israeli apology for ‘racist’ remarks

Warsaw (AFP) – Senior Polish officials on Tuesday demanded Israel apologise for comments on the alleged anti-Semitism of Poles in a row which led Warsaw to pull out of a Jerusalem summit.

Israeli authorities must “apologise”, Junior Foreign Minister Szymon Szynkowski said, following Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz’s comments at the weekend that “Poles suckle anti-Semitism with their mothers’ milk.”
