Warsaw official moves to ban anti-Israel demonstration
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Warsaw governor has taken steps to prevent a planned far-right protest outside the Israeli Embassy by banning traffic in the area, citing security concerns.
Right-wing groups have called the protest for later today amid a spat between Poland and Israel over pending Polish legislation that would bill that criminalizes blaming Poles for atrocities during the Holocaust.
Israel has vehemently protested the law saying it would stifle historic research and truth.
Warsaw regional governor Zdzislaw Sipera says that for security reasons he is banning traffic around the embassy until February 5, except for residents and city services, to prevent protesters from gathering.
He says the embassy has expressed security concerns ahead of the protest.
