Israel has criticized Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, for claiming Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins, saying it was an unforgivable falsehood that debased the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust.
According to reports, leaders from several Western nations denounced the foreign minister’s comments and Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, accused Russia of having forgotten the lessons of World War II.
In a sign of sharply deteriorating relations with Moscow, the Israeli foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador and demanded an apology.
Lavrov made the assertion on Italian television on Sunday when he was asked why Russia said it needed to “denazify” Ukraine if the country’s own president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, was himself Jewish.
