Hamas attack on Israel. Andrzej Duda about Poles

– There is no information that any of our citizens have suffered in Hamas’ attacks on Israel so far. Fortunately, said the president and added that there are still large groups of Poles in Israel. Andrzej Duda repeated the position of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to refrain from trips to Israel. He also assured that the Polish diplomatic services are doing everything in their power to determine the whereabouts of all Polish citizens in Israel and provide them with the necessary care.

Bogdan Rymanowski asked Andrzej Duda whether the tension between Hamas and Israel “could be the beginning of World War III.” – I wouldn’t exaggerate, this is not the first war situation there in the Middle East. Let us remember that such situations have already occurred in recent decades. There were wars going on there that did not lead to any world conflict, so I wouldn’t go that far. However, this is truly a situation that has not been seen there for a long time and is dangerous – replied the president.

Andrzej Duda also announced that he had a conversation with the president of Israel. – It wasn’t a long conversation. First of all, I expressed our condolences and sympathies to the Israeli people, including to the president himself. I said that we are ready to provide help if humanitarian support is needed, that Poland will help at any time, as it always does in such situations, he reported.
