WARSAW/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Poland pulled out of a planned summit in Israel after Israel's acting foreign minister said on Monday that "many Poles" had collaborated with the Nazis in World War Two and shared responsibility for the Holocaust.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki branded the remarks "racist and unacceptable". He had previously said he would not join Tuesday's gathering of central European leaders in Israel, sending instead a lower-level delegation, but said on Monday that no Polish officials would now attend.
