Polish premier calls off trip to Holy Land

WARSAW: Poland’s prime minister has cancelled a trip to Israel in the wake of reported remarks made by Israel’s prime minister suggesting Polish complicity during the Holocaust, officials said yesterday.

The summit of four central and eastern European countries is set to be held in Jerusalem this week. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will not attend the gathering.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he had been misquoted by The Jerusalem Post, which issued a corrected story. |
