Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon has appealed to Polish citizens, asking them to understand Israeli anger over a bill calling for three years in prison to anyone who will mention Poland's role in the Holocaust.
Writing on Twitter, Nachshon said, "Dear Polish followers - the issue is NOT the death camps . Of course they were not Polish. Those were German death camps . The issue is the legitimate and essential freedom to talk about the involvement of Poles in the murder of Jews without fear or threat of penalisation.Simple."
