"A bucket of cold water poured over your heads, and not just today, would do you good," the prime minister wrote on X.
The row started when Marcin Przydacz, head of Nawrocki's International Policy Bureau, suggested that Western allies with "appropriate naval capabilities" should help unblock the Strait of Hormuz amid the US-Israeli war against Iran.
Speaking to private broadcaster Polsat News, he argued this would serve both Poland's economic interest – by bringing energy prices down – and the principle of Euro-Atlantic solidarity.
He later clarified on social media that he was not proposing to send Polish soldiers to the Middle East.
The remarks drew swift condemnation from the government.
Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk said Przydacz was "welcome to volunteer himself," calling PiS "lunatics" trying to pull Poland into "some kind of madness."
Government spokesman Adam Szłapka accused both PiS and the President's Office of "no longer hiding their desire to involve Poland in the conflict."
The presidential camp hit back at Tusk.
The deputy head of the President's Office, Adam Andruszkiewicz, accused the prime minister of attacking Nawrocki with "pathetic lies ... even during the Easter holidays" and said Tusk was "scaremongering about war at Easter tables."
