Poland recalls ambassador to Israel indefinitely as restitution row deepens

Lapid said the head of Israel's embassy in Warsaw was being called back immediately.

"In response to the recent unjustified actions of the State of Israel... the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs that the Polish Ambassador to Israel will remain in the country (Poland) until further notice," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said he had decided to provide safe transport back to Poland for the children of Ambassador Marek Magierowski, amid what he called "an increased hatred of Poland and Poles" in Israel.

In response to a request for comment, the Israeli foreign ministry sent a statement from Lapid originally released on Sunday in which he said, "We do not fear anti-semitic threats, and have no intention of turning a blind eye to the shameful conduct of the anti-democratic Polish government."
