Poland’s Ambassador to Israel, Marek Magierowski, was attacked on Tuesday outside the Polish Embassy in Tel Aviv, according to a report by the Hebrew website Ynet.
Magierowski was standing outside the Embassy when a man started physically and verbally assaulting him. The ambassador was too overwhelmed to understand the words his attacker said. All he heard was, “Polish, Polish,” Magierowski recounted.
The Polish Embassy immediately filed a complaint to the Israeli Police, while Magierowski filed a complaint to the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry contacted the police and asked them and the authorities charged with security of the foreign embassies in Tel Aviv to treat the incident with the utmost importance.
Magierowski managed to take a picture of the attacker and his vehicle, which led to the man’s arrest 90 minutes later. Magierowski was informed by the Foreign Ministry that the man had been arrested, and he commended the police and their efficiency.
The attack on the Polish ambassador comes amid a diplomatic spat between Poland and Israel. This week, the Polish Foreign Ministry canceled a scheduled visit of an Israeli delegation to Warsaw, which was scheduled to take place on Monday.
