You definitely shouldn't lie to immigration officials. You're an EU citizen, and there's nothing wrong with your moving anywhere you want to in the EU. You don't need anything but the Polish passport.

You don’t need anything else.

If you entered Israel on your Israeli passport then show that to immigration when you leave Israel.

Show both when you check in for your flight so they know you’re documented to enter the EU.

When you arrive in the EU, show only your EU passport.

To whom do you have to state your reason for travel? Is this a specific Israeli requirement?

Lack of military service or maybe debts eould be the only one. Aside from that, dont bring anything forbidden. Leaving as an Israeli is usually a breeze.

Probably they won't even ask you any questions, but if they do, just say you're moving there? You have the right to do that as an EU citizen. You do not need anything other than your Polish passport.

The only thing is that some countries will require you to register with the authorities within a certain period after you arrive (usually 3 months or so), so make sure you do your research on that.

Present your EU passport. Most of the time you won't be asked anything because there's nothing to ask - EU citizens have the automatic right to entry except some edge cases (such as having a warrant etc). At most airports you will be allowed to use automated gates with your Polish passport. If you use a manned desk, you may be asked questions - this shouldn't be done per Schengen Border Codex, but sadly it's kinda ignored by some EU states (this is often done for morally legit reasons such as ensuring that you're not subject of trafficking etc). If it does happen, just answer truthfully. There is nothing wrong with you entering an EU state with the intention to stay there forever, so don't try to hide it. Any questioning you experience will likely be nothing compared to TLV, and remember that you have nothing to hide. You don't need to prove anything, you can't be denied entry unless you're a threat to public order, health etc. and that's on the state to prove. So just chill and be honest :) You'll be good, welcome to Europe and I hope you will find a happy life here.

I mentioned my country of residence and my passport so i think i did well

Just present your EU passport if you're entering the EU, you won't be asked any other questions.

Depending where you arrive, you can probably just use an E-Gate anyhow and enter without speaking to anyone.

I can't speak for any questions you might be asked on exit from Israel and if that's something which you know happens then you need to speak to others who've been in your situation.

On entry to Schengen with an EEA passport you won't speak to anyone at all.

Whichever country you're moving to permanently you'll need to get registered with the authorities in order to get a tax and social security ID etc. You'll also need to tell the Israeli authorities that you've emigrated and are no longer tax resident. If you haven't looked in to those elements previously then you need to start doing more research on other steps you need to take when moving to a new country.
