“The Poles have persistently tried to hide and deny their participation in the process of the extermination of Jews,” said one of Israel’s leading opposition figures.
An Israeli opposition leader has slammed a new agreement between Israel and Poland that would allow Israeli youth visits to resume to Holocaust sites and memorials, claiming that Poles are trying to hide their role in the Holocaust.
The agreement reached by the Netanyahu administration with Poland was panned by a leading Israeli opposition politician, Yair Lapid, who has served as both foreign minister and prime minister in the past. He criticizes the Netanyahu government for being “soft” on the Poles.
“The Poles have persistently tried to hide and deny their participation in the process of the extermination of Jews,” wrote Lapid in a post on social media.
