Israel's President Isaac Herzog speaks at the Jerusalem Post 10th annual conference in Jerusalem on October 12, 2021. Gil COHEN-MAGEN AFP JERUSALEM WARSAW - Israel and Poland agreed to improve relations after Warsaw introduced a law last year limiting the ability of Jews to recover World War II properties, and said on Monday they would mutually restore ambassadors.
The bill affecting property seized by Nazi German occupiers and retained by Poland's post-war communist rulers was a move by Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who as foreign minister denounced it as anti-Semitic and immoral.
It was agreed that relations would be restored to their proper course, said Isaac Herzog, Israeli President, after speaking to his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda.
Both presidents expressed their hope that future issues between Poland and Israel will be solved through sincere and open dialogue and in a spirit of mutual respect, it added.
