Israel said on Monday that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s claims that Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins was an ‘unforgivable’ falsehood that debased the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust
Israel lambasted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday for claiming that Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins, saying it was an “unforgivable” falsehood that debased the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust.
“The use of the Holocaust of the Jewish people for political purposes must stop immediately,” he added. “For a long time now we’ve been hearing the wise Jewish people say that the biggest anti-Semites are the Jews themselves,” he added. The identity of one of Hitler’s grandfathers is not known but there has been some speculation, never backed up by any evidence, that he might have been a Jew.
“More broadly, they demonstrate that today’s Russia is full of hatred towards other nations,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter. However, relations have grown more strained, with Lapid last month accusing Russia of committing war crimes in Ukraine.
