In Jerusalem, graffiti bearing the phrase "There is a Holocaust in Gaza" was spray-painted on the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, as well as on the Great Synagogue. The messages condemned the Israeli military actions in the Gaza Strip. Reports indicate that the graffiti was not created by Palestinian activists but by an Orthodox Jew, highlighting internal dissent regarding the conflict. Meanwhile, in Poland, Israeli soccer fans from the Maccabi Haifa club sparked outrage by displaying a banner during a Europa Conference League qualifying match against Rakow Czestochowa. The banner read "Murderers since 1939," a reference to the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War II. This act was widely condemned in Poland, with officials describing it as an insult to the memory of Poles, including Polish Jews, who were victims of the Holocaust. The incident has strained relations and drawn significant media attention in both countries.
