Mateusz Morawiecki
Poland’s prime minister warned that Israel’s continued criticism of its anti-restitution law would harm relations between the countries after Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid recalls its charge d’affaires.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in a letter to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings that the program showed maps that place Nazi concentration camps within the borders of modern-day Poland.
Asked whether the Polish government had bought controversial telephone-surveillance technology from the Israeli firm NSO Group, Polish premier Mateusz Morawiecki tells opposition lawmakers that “everything that needs to be, will be clarified in due time.”
Poland is the only affected nation that doesn’t have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution. In March 2018, 59 senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law.
The statement issued by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki “contains highly problematic wording that contradicts existing and accepted historical knowledge in this field.”
