Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed on Sunday that Hitler had Jewish blood.
The Foreign Minister of Russia is speaking at the United Nations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was asked during the Italian TV show Zona Bianca how Russia could claim its war in Ukraine is aimed at de-Nazifying the country if the Ukrainian President is Jewish.
Some of the worst anti-Semites are Jews, according to Lavrov.
Israel summoned the Russian ambassador to clarify the comments after Lavrov made them.
The Prime Minister said that the remarks were meant to blame the Jews for the most terrible crimes in history.
Bennett said that there is no war today that is similar to the Holocaust.
Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust. The lowest level of racism against Jews is to accuse them of being antisemitic.
The claim that Hitler's grandfather was Jewish has never been given any credibility.
Israel commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day, which honors the murders of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. Russia has attempted to legitimize the war by claiming its military operations are designed to liberate Ukraine from neo-Nazis, despite the fact that Zelensky lost family in the Holocaust. Israel's condemnation of Russia this week is one of the most severe criticisms of the country to date. Israel has tried to maintain a neutral stance on the invasion as it relies on Russia for security coordination in the Middle East. Israel's official Holocaust memorial called Lavrov's remarks "delusional" and "dangerous", saying they labeled Zelensky a Nazi.
Israel is angry with Russia over their comments about Hitler.
The claim that Hitler was Jewish was denounced by Israel.
