New Polish ambassador to Israel soon?

Meanwhile, Marek Magierowski on Friday left his post as a deputy foreign minister with the rank of undersecretary of state, the foreign ministry in Warsaw said.

It added that Magierowski’s departure stemmed from his planned posting as a diplomat abroad.

The parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee in May greenlighted Magierowski’s candidacy to take over as Poland’s ambassador to Israel, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency noted in a report on Friday.

Jacek Czaputowicz has been Poland’s foreign minister since early January.
