“Foreign Minister Lavrov’s comments are an unforgivable and outrageous statement, as well as a terrible historical mistake”, lamented Lapid.
As he added, “Jews did not commit suicide in the Holocaust. The lowest level of racism against Jews is to accuse the Jews themselves of anti-Semitism”.
After this controversial statement, the head of the Israeli diplomacy summoned the Russian ambassador to Israel “for a clarification meeting,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Lavrov: Hitler “also had Jewish origin”
In an interview yesterday to the Italian channel Rete4, the first in a European environment since the Russian invasion began on February 24, Lavrov insisted on the infiltration of supposedly neo-Nazi sectors in Ukrainian institutions.
When warned about Zelensky’s Jewish roots, Lavrov replied that Hitler ” he was also of Jewish origin”.
The Russian pretext for the “Nazification” of Ukraine
According to the Head of Foreign Affairs Russian, Moscow does not seek a change of regime in Ukraine, and assured that the war unleashed with its invasion wants to “guarantee the security of the population of the east”, which it considered “threatened by militarization and Nazification”.
Since the outbreak of the conflict, although it condemned the invasion, Israel has maintained a rather moderate position towards Russia due to its strategic alliance in the Middle East, where the State Jew coordinates with Moscow to attack pro-Iranian positions in Syria.
In turn, it has not applied sanctions to Russia nor has it delivered weapons to Ukraine Despite the fact that it did send humanitarian aid, it welcomed Ukrainian refugees and also the Ukrainian population of Jewish origin with the right to Israeli citizenship.
