Netanyahu says Israel welcomes change to Polish Holocaust law

Netanyahu is speaking on the Polish law being changed.

He says that “Israel welcomes the decision taken by the Polish government.”

“It’s obvious that the Holocaust was an unprecedented crime committed by Nazi Germany against the Jewish nation, including all Poles of Jewish origin,” he says.

He adds that both countries understand the importance of conducting “free research” into the Shoah.

“We’ve always agreed that the term Polish death camps is blatantly erroneous and diminishes the responsibility of Germany for establishing those camps,” he says, addressing the crux of the issue.
