Traffic accident in Jerusalem delays Szydło visit to Netanyahu

The motorcade of Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydło was involved in a “major traffic accident” on Monday evening, according to the Israeli press. However, although three people were treated for wounds, there were no major injuries, reports said. The PM had been travelling to a dinner meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his wife when the accident, which is still under investigation, occurred. Szydło is in Israel for talks focusing primarily on economic cooperation. On Tuesday, she was scheduled  to visit the Old City of Jerusalem, including the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Jaffa Gate, and the West Wall, before returning to Warsaw.
