Israel outrage at Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov's claim that Hitler was part Jewish
Israel’s foreign minister Yair Lapid said the Russian ambassador would be summoned for “a tough talk” over the assertion, which
Lavrov made on Sunday in an interview with Italian television in which he was asked how Russia could say it needed to “denazify” Ukraine, when the country’s president,
Volodymyr Zelenskiy, was Jewish.
In the interview, Lavrov said:
When they say ‘What sort of nazification is this if we are Jews’, well I think that Hitler also had Jewish origins, so it means nothing.
“For a long time now we’ve been hearing the wise Jewish people say that the biggest anti-Semites are the Jews themselves.”
“It is an unforgivable, scandalous statement, a terrible historical mistake, and we expect an apology,” Yair Lapid stated
