Poland's president Andrzej Duda has approved a law that will make it harder for Jewish people to recover property lost during and after World War Two.
Israel has recalled its diplomatic envoy to Warsaw over the changes, branding the law "anti-Semitic".
The legislation relates to claims on property stolen by Nazi Germany, then seized by Poland's communist regime.
The law sets a 30-year limit on challenges to such confiscations.
As most happened soon after the war, many outstanding claims will now be blocked.
The Polish government says the change will end a period of legal chaos, but Israel condemned it forcibly.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel sounds like reparations that have a set time frame that's about to expire.
