Poland's Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that it cancelled an upcoming visit by an Israeli delegation to Warsaw due to "last minute changes in the composition of the delegation."
"In response to the latest media reports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland would like to announce that the visit of Israeli delegation headed by Mr. Avi Cohen-Scali, the Director General of the Israeli Ministry for Social Equality, in Warsaw on 13 May will not take place," the ministry said in a statement.
The changes made in the Israeli delegation suggested that the talks would primarily focus on property restitution of Jews living in the country whose property was confiscation during the Holocaust in World War Two.
In mid-February, Poland's prime minister announced that his country would not take part in a meeting with Israeli officials after Israel's new acting foreign minister said Polish people "suckle anti-Semitism with their mother's milk".
A cultural and political alliance of four Central European states -- Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia -- known as the Visegrad Group, had been planning to hold a summit in Israel this week.
However, Poland announced its Prime Minister would not attend a planned Feb. 19 visit to Israel after his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the Polish people had "collaborated" with the Nazis during the Second World War.
