“Israel ‘horrified’ by the loss of a ‘true friend’ in Poland”

“Jerusalem - Israeli President Shimon Peres expressed his condolences to Poland on Saturday and said Israel was “horrified” by the tragic death of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash.

“The death of my friend, President Lech Kaczynski, as well as the death of his wife Maria and other senior officials in Poland’s leadership, shocks and pains us,” Peres said.

“Israel bows its head and grieves with you (the Polish people) over this loss,” the Israeli president added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also sent his condolences, remembering Kaczynski was a leader who advanced relations between Poland and Israel. “President Kaczynski led the opening of a new page in the relations of the Jewish and Polish nations,” Netanyahu said.

“I knew President Kaczynski as a Polish patriot, a great friend to Israel and as a leader who worked for the good of his people and for the advancement of peace and prosperity in the world,” he added.

Foreign Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Kaczynski was a “true friend of the State of Israel.”

“He proved this through his actions and positions, as well as through his important role in creating good strategic relations between Israel and Poland.”

Defence Minister Ehud Barak expressed “deep sorrow”, saying, “His death is a great loss to his nation and the entire world.”

Israel has always appreciated the support of Kaczynski, who had close ties with Israel at times when other European countries showed hostility.

After being elected president in 2005, Kaczynski said former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon was his “hero”, Yossi Levi, a former deputy ambassador to Warsaw told the Israeli press.”
