Poland’s prime minister came under fire once again for making an anti-Semitic remark when he said “Jewish perpetrators” were involved in the Holocaust, prompting a stern rebuke from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called the comment “outrageous.”

Mateusz Morawiecki made the remark at a security conference in Munich on Saturday when he was asked about a new Polish law that criminalizes blaming Poles for Holocaust crimes committed by Nazi Germany.

Netanyahu condemned the comment as “outrageous” and criticized Morawiecki’s “inability to understand history and a lack of sensitivity to the tragedy of our people.”

Morawiecki and Netanyahu have clashed several times — including in a phone call Sunday — over the law that calls for fines and a three-year sentence for “whoever accuses, publicly and against the facts, the Polish nation, or the Polish state, of being responsible or complicit in the Nazi crimes committed by the Third German Reich.”

In tweets on Sunday, Morawiecki encouraged maintaining discussions with Israel to keep such “exceptionally terrifying” crimes from happening again.

“Dialogue about this most difficult history is necessary, as a warning. We will conduct such dialogue with Israel,” he wrote on Twitter.

Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister told Morawiecki that “a comparison between the activities of Poles and the activities of Jews during the Holocaust is unfounded.”

The two leaders agreed to continue to soothe tensions.

The firestorm erupted after an Israeli journalist asked Morawiecki if he could be charged in Poland for telling a story about how his parents’ families were dimed out to the Nazis by their Polish neighbors.

“Of course it’s not going to be punishable, not going to be seen as criminal, to say that there were Polish perpetrators, as there were Jewish perpetrators, as there were Russian perpetrators, as there were Ukrainian, not only German perpetrators,” Morawiecki replied.
