Israeli foreign minister condemns Russia’s Lavrov for ‘unforgivable’ Holocaust remarks

Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid condemned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who stood by his country's claim that it invaded Ukraine in part to root out Nazism, dismissing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Judaism as irrelevant and suggesting that Adolf Hitler “had Jewish blood.” The remarks came during the week that Israel commemorates the Holocaust.
