Polish FM: Poland supports Israel-Palestine peace process

During a visit to Jerusalem on Monday, Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna affirmed Poland’s support for the Israel-Palestine peace process. At the meeting, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, stressed the shared experience of both countries in fighting for peace and freedom, as well as in cooperation across various sectors such as cybersecurity and science. Schetyna stressed that Poland would be a friend of Israel within the EU, and would continue to encourage other EU members to support the Israeli-Palestinian peace proceedings. The meeting was held on the 25th anniversary of the recognition of Polish-Israeli relations, which had been severed by the communist government in 1967 following the Six Day War.
