Poland’s prime minister denounced a “xenophobic act” on his country’s ambassador after an Israeli man was arrested for spitting outside the Polish embassy in Tel Aviv.
Mateusz Morawiecki said he was concerned by what he said was a racist attack.
“Poland strongly condemns this xenophobic act of aggression. Violence against diplomats or any other citizens should never be tolerated,” he said.
The unnamed suspect, 65, was placed under house arrest following Tuesday’s incident, which occurred after an argument with security guards outside the embassy building, according to Haaretz.
