A far-right Polish lawmaker is facing mounting backlash after displaying an Israeli flag defaced with a swastika from the floor of parliament, with the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation filing a criminal complaint and demanding disciplinary action over what it called a distortion of Holocaust history.

The complaint targets Konrad Berkowicz, a lawmaker from the far-right Confederation party, after he used a speech in the Sejm on April 14 to accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza and declare, “Israel is the new Third Reich,” before unfurling the altered, swastika-bearing flag.

The incident immediately drew shouts of protest in the chamber.
