Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Katz as interim foreign minister on Sunday. The same day, in an interview to Israel's i24 News Katz said: "I am the son of Holocaust survivors, we will never forgive and never forget, and there were many Poles who collaborated with the Nazis."
He continued to quote former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, saying: "Shamir said that every Pole suckled anti-Semitism with his mother's milk. Nobody will tell us how to express out stance and how to honor the dead."
Poland's prime minister said Monday that if Israel doesn't apologize for comments made by its interim foreign minister on Poland's involvement in the Holocaust, Poland will cancel its participation in the Visegrad summit taking place in Israel on Tuesday.
Morawiecki told reporters Monday that Israel's interim Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz's remarks were "racist and unacceptable" and that "this is not something that can be left without a response."
