Poland’s prime minister has said statements by Israel’s prime minister and ambassador in the wake of an Israeli strike on a Gaza aid convoy that killed a Pole are putting Poland’s solidarity to “a really hard test.”
World Central Kitchen (WCK), a U.S.-based humanitarian organization operating in the Gaza Strip, reported on Tuesday that seven members of its team, including one from Poland, died in an Israeli strike on their vehicles on Monday.
Following the report, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted a “tragic case of an unintentional strike” by Israeli forces on “innocent people.”
Later on Tuesday, Israeli ambassador to Poland Yacov Livne took to the X platform to write:
“The extreme right and left in Poland accuse Israel of intentional murder in yesterday’s attack, which resulted in the death of members of a humanitarian organization… Conclusion: Anti-Semites will always remain anti-Semites, and Israel will remain a democratic Jewish state that fights for its right to exist. Also for the good of the entire Western world,” the post further read.
Polish PM responds
“Mr. Prime Minister Netanyahu, Mr. Ambassador Livne, the vast majority of Poles showed full solidarity with Israel after the Hamas attack,” Tusk wrote on X, addressing the remarks and referring to the Hamas’ attack on Israel.

“Today you are putting this solidarity to a really hard test. The tragic attack on volunteers and your reaction arouse understandable anger,” he stressed.Panie premierze Netanjahu, panie ambasadorze Liwne, zdecydowana większość Polaków okazała pełną solidarność z Izraelem po ataku Hamasu. Dzisiaj poddajecie tę solidarność naprawdę ciężkiej próbie. Tragiczny atak na wolontariuszy i wasza reakcja budzą zrozumiałą złość.
