Netanyahu will miss Kaczynski...they were friends.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sent a message of solidarity with the Polish people on behalf of the government and people of Israel. “I knew President Kaczynski as a Polish patriot, as a great friend of Israel and as a leader who was very active on behalf of his people,” Netanyahu wrote, adding, “President Kaczynski led an important process for opening a new page in relations between the Polish and Jewish people and developed Polish-Israeli relations.”
“During this painful hour we bow our heads, together with all of the citizens of Israel, over the huge loss to the Polish people and to all nations that seek freedom and peace,” Netanyahu said.
Under Kaczynski, Poland was probably Israel’s only friend in Europe.
