Polish FM urges accountability for Israel’s religious crimes, human rights abuses

A campaign calling for the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement recently surpassed one million signatures

On April 20, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called for "accountability" for the multitude of war crimes and human rights abuses committed by Israeli soldiers, citing their actions against Palestinian civilians, in remarks posted on social media.

“Israeli soldiers themselves admit to war crimes. They killed not only Palestinian civilians but even their own hostages,” Sikorski said.

He added that it was “good that [Israeli Foreign] Minister [Gideon] Saar quickly apologized” after an Israeli soldier desecrated a crucifix of Jesus Christ in a southern Lebanese village under occupation, stressing that “there was something to apologize for.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said, “We apologize for this incident and to every Christian whose feelings were hurt.”

Sikorski emphasized that the soldier should face punishment and highlighted the need for broader lessons on military conduct and training.

Last week, Polish lawmaker Konrad Berkowicz drew sharp attention in parliament after displaying an Israeli flag altered with a swastika during a speech in the Sejm, Poland’s lower house. 

He used the gesture to denounce Israel’s atrocities, siege, and genocide in Gaza and called for Warsaw to sever ties with Israel.  (more...)
