The Restitution of Jewish Property Snatched or Stolen durinng WWII
A 65-year-old Israeli man spitted at the Polish Ambassador to Israel.
The move of the man has heightened tensions between the two countries, which have recently been at loggerheads over a dispute over the return of Jewish property dating back to World War II.
The day before this incident, Poland canceled a visit by Israeli officials because Israel wanted to propose the return of Jewish property confiscated during the Holocaust during World War II.
Poland insisted that this issue was a thing of the past.

Polish people, on the other hand, are still trying to recover more than 63,000 cultural relics looted from Poland by Nazi Germany during World War II.
However, many experts say that there are some Dutch Jewish cultural relics in Polish museums that were stored by the Nazis during World War II.
Items that were in German-occupied Poland and which have yet to be properly returned to Poland.
Researchers pointed out that a museum in Gdansk, Poland, houses seven Dutch artifacts that are considered missing.
Some scholars say they suspect there are many cultural relics bought or stolen by the Nazis from the Dutch in dozens of museums in other Polish cities.

A Hungarian homeowner unearthed a cache of unique ancient and Roman Empire coins in his house in a wartime Jewish ghetto.
Jewelry engravings found in the jars suggest the items may have belonged to the Pollak family, a prominent Jewish merchant in Keszthely before World War II.
But almost all of the Jews who once thrived in this town were killed in the Holocaust, and no descendants of the possible owners have been traced.
In order to find descendants of the Pollack family, the museum plans to digitize the collection and enlist archivists and historians to comb through the Pollack family tree.
If the owner cannot be found, the collection belongs to the state.
