 Poland recalls ambassador after Israeli conflict

The Polish government has strongly criticized Israel's disregard for diplomatic relations and a new law restricting the acquisition of property seized by the former communist government to Holocaust survivors. Instructed to stay in the country.

According to the Dawn newspaper, the Prime Minister of Poland, Matthews Moravic, defended the new law, saying that it would end the era of criminal abuse in his country.

Despite intense pressure from the US government and Israeli warnings of strained relations, the Polish president signed a new law on Saturday, sparking controversy.

The Israeli foreign minister called it an "immoral anti-Semitic law" and said he had recalled his country's top diplomat from Poland just hours after President Andrzej Duda signed the law.
The Israeli foreign minister suggested that the Polish ambassador, who had gone on holiday, did not return.

The Polish Foreign Ministry called Israel's decision, Lipid's and other government members' statements unfair and unacceptable, and said Polish Ambassador Mark Magrovsky would remain in Poland until further notice.

Contrary to this controversy, before World War II, Poland was a safe haven for Jews in Europe and Israel was a safe haven for Jews expelled from Europe during the campaign of German dictator Adolf Hitler and his followers.

The dispute between the two countries began in early 2018 over Poland's new law, which was interpreted by Poland as false claims about Nazi Germany.
"Our relations began to be negatively impacted in 2018 when Poland chose to pass laws aimed at harming the history of the Holocaust and the Jews. Gone are the days when the Polish people They harmed the Jews without any result.

He said the new law states that administrative decisions issued for 30 years or more cannot be challenged, meaning that many property owners whose homes and businesses were confiscated during the communist era cannot be challenged. Now they can't get paid.

Israel says Poland today is benefiting from the houses and businesses that were first acquired by the Nazis and then by the Polish communist government.

Poland maintains that it was in Germany's custody and is not responsible for the confiscation.
Defending the law on Monday, Matthews Moravic said he needed to fight fraudsters who had claimed ownership of the property before the war in court and had acquired ownership of the valuable property. To which they are not entitled.

"Aggressive privatization has led to tragedies in Poland, forcing millions of citizens out of their homes where they have lived all their lives, because our constitution has a law that allows us to own property indefinitely," he said. Transfer was allowed.

He added that the new law restores justice and the rule of law in Poland.
