Poland's Foreign Minister, Radosław Sikorski, has summoned Israel's ambassador. The diplomatic action follows a social media post from Israel's official Holocaust memorial institution, Yad Vashem. Minister Sikorski requested a clarification and a correction of the post. The Polish government considers the content of the tweet to be misleading. The incident concerns the complex history of Poland and the Holocaust during World War II. Polish officials frequently object to descriptions they believe inaccurately blame Poland for Nazi German crimes.
