Munich, Germany 18 Feb (ANA) - Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply rebuked his Polish counterpart for saying that Jews were among the perpetrators of the Holocaust.

 

He said the remarks by Mateusz Morawiecki at the Munich Security Conference were "outrageous".  Mr Netanyahu said they showed "an inability to understand history".

 

The dispute comes weeks after Israel condemned a new Polish law making it illegal to accuse the Polish nation or state of complicity in Nazi crimes.

 

The legislation was signed into law by President Andrzej Duda but also referred to the country's highest court to consider its constitutionality.(ANA)
