AP News, I'm Ed Donoghue, President Biden is expected to talk by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today about the Israeli strike that killed seven members of the aid group World Central Kitchen in Gaza. Israel says they were targeted in error. One of the workers killed was from Poland. There are now tensions between Israel and Poland. The Polish president has denounced a comment by the Israeli ambassador as outrageous and the Foreign Ministry in Warsaw says it's summoning him for a meeting amid shocking Poland over the death of the charity worker. Israel's ambassador to Poland, Yakov Livny, pushed back at what he said were attempts by the extreme right and left in Poland to accuse Israel of intentional murder in the attack. He said on social media on Tuesday that anti-Semites will always remain anti-Semites. The Polish president and Prime Minister criticized the comment. I'm Charles Teletesma.
