Lapid fires back at Polish PM: We won’t allow laws ‘whose purpose is to deny the Holocaust’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleForeign Minister Yair Lapid hits back at Polish Prime Minister Mateusz for vowing that Poland will never pay for Holocaust restitution claims.
Mateusz made the comments when asked about Lapid’s denunciation of Polish legislation that would effectively bar compensation payments as “immoral.”
“The Polish prime minister should again check the facts. Millions of Jews were murdered on Polish ground and no law will erase their memories. We are not interested in Polish money and the very hint is antisemitic,” Lapid says in a statement.
He adds: “We are fighting for the memory of Holocaust victims, for the pride of our nation, and will not allow any parliament to pass laws whose purpose is to deny the Holocaust.”
