The Israeli Foreign Ministry condemns Lavrov's words and accuses him of “distorting history” ;.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry reacted to the cynical statement of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in which he compared the Russians with the victims of the Holocaust, and US policy with the actions of Hitler. The foreign diplomatic department said that such comparisons of Lavrov are “unacceptable.”
This was stated by Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Hayit, writes the local newspaper ynet.co.il.
He stressed that ” any comparison between current events and Hitler's final plan to exterminate the Jews distorts historical truth and damages the dignity of both the dead and the survivors. Any such comparison must be categorically rejected.” Khait added that “the Holocaust is the darkest period in the history of mankind. Such comparisons are unacceptable.”
Recall that the Ukrainian and US Foreign Ministries reacted to the cynical words. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry condemns the statements of Foreign Minister of the aggressor Russia Sergey Lavrov, in which he compared the international isolation of the Russian Federation due to the war in Ukraine with the murder of Jews in Europe during the Holocaust, said speaker Oleg Nikolenko.
< p> In the White House, such statements were called absurd. “It's so absurd that it shouldn't be responded to except in a really offensive way in which he tried to portray us in terms of Hitler and the Holocaust,” said National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
