Poland's President Andrzej Duda has demanded that Israel provide compensation to the family of Damian Soból, a Polish aid worker who tragically lost his life in an IDF strike in Gaza. Soból, aged 35, was among seven aid workers who perished in the attack.
President Duda emphasized the need for Israel to offer appropriate compensation to the family of the deceased, stating that it is a moral obligation. He urged for the compensation to be provided in a fair and honest manner to address the loss suffered by the Polish citizen.
Furthermore, Duda criticized the Israeli ambassador to Poland, Yacov Livne, for his remarks following the incident. The President condemned what he described as 'outrageous' statements made by Livne, highlighting a lack of sensitivity in the ambassador's communication.
Israeli Ambassador Livne faced backlash for his comments on social media, where he referenced accusations of intentional murder against Israel by elements in Poland's political spectrum. Livne's remarks were met with criticism for their perceived insensitivity in the wake of the tragic event.
In response to the escalating tensions, President Duda called for a respectful and diplomatic approach from all parties involved. He stressed the importance of maintaining sensitivity and understanding in addressing the aftermath of the aid worker's death.
The demand for compensation from Israel underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for accountability in cases of civilian casualties during conflicts. The international community will be closely monitoring the developments as efforts are made to address the repercussions of this unfortunate incident.
