Nationalists banned from protesting in front of Israeli embassy

A protest by nationalists planned in front of the Israeli embassy in Warsaw on Wednesday evening has been banned amid tensions between Israel and Poland.

The ban comes after controversy over a planned new law that could mean a jail term for anyone who accuses Poland of being complicit in Nazi German crimes in World War II.

Mazowieckie Province Governor Zdzisław Sipiera has banned all movement around the embassy from 1 pm CET on Wednesday until midnight on 5 February, saying that Warsaw's mayor should not have approved the protest, planned for 5pm CET.

Sipiera said he closed the streets around the embassy to "tone down emotions".
