A Polish delegation is heading for Israel to discuss the ill-advised Holocaust law their parliament drafted, which may have been put on hold in the meantime:

An official Polish government delegation is due in Israel on Wednesday amid a bitter diplomatic row over controversial Polish legislation which outlaws blaming Poland as a nation for Holocaust crimes committed by Nazi Germany.

An Israeli foreign ministry statement said on Tuesday that the Polish team would be headed by deputy foreign minister Bartosz Cichocki.

The Israeli side will be led by foreign ministry director general Yuval Rotem, backed by historians, jurists, diplomats and a representative of the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.

“The purpose of the dialogue is to preserve the historical truth and prevent harm to the freedom of research and expression,” the statement said.

The teams will try to hammer out an agreed text of the legislation, which has passed Poland’s parliament and been signed by its president but not implemented to date.

Well they should by all means reverse it, and not continue frustrating the Israeli side of the spectrum. As I've said before, this is not doing any favors for Europe as a whole at a time when Islamofascism is a serious issue.
