Alwaght- Israeli regime Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said on Monday Russian Ambassador to Tel Aviv Anatoly Viktorov would be summoned after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, Adolf Hitler “had Jewish blood” and that Jews are among the worst antisemites.
Lavrov made the remarks during an interview with Italian television, in which he said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewishness did not undercut Russia’s claims that its invasion of Ukraine was meant to “denazify” the country.
“So what if Zelensky is Jewish? The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood,” Lavrov told adding that “some of the worst antisemites are Jews.”
He went on the accuse the US and Canada of training “neo-Nazi subdivisions” that are now in Ukraine’s army, referencing those holding out at the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
“Americans and especially Canadians played a leading role in preparing ultra-radical, openly neo-Nazi subdivisions for Ukraine.”
Reacting to top Russian diplomat's comments, Israeli FM said “This is an unforgivable and scandalous comment, a terrible historical error and we expect an apology”.
Russian Ambassador Anatoly Viktorov would be summoned for “a not-so easy talk,” Lapid added.
