Deputy Foreign Minister Paweł Jabłoński of Poland criticized Friday Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for equating the property law to Holocaust denial.

“It is a baseless accusation that stems from political motives and needs,” Jabłoński said.

Jerusalem and Warsaw have been at odds over a law that was passed in parliament that prevents former Polish property owners, including Holocaust survivors, from requesting restitution for themselves and their descendants.
