Polish prime minister condemns 'xenophobic' attack on country's ambassador to Israel on a Tel Aviv street
Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki arrives for the informal meeting of European Union leaders in Sibiu, Romania, May 9, 2019.
Israeli officials have expressed shock at the attack and said they were investigating the assault on Marek Magierowski on Tuesday. The incident comes amid a bitter stand-off between Poland and Israel over how to remember the Holocaust and over demands that Poland pay reparations for former Jewish properties that were seized by Nazi Germany and later nationalised by Poland's communist regime.
Michal Dworczyk, the head of Morawiecki's office, said the Polish government expects the perpetrator to be punished.
