BERLIN, Aug 18 —German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told the Israeli prime minister today that any attempt to play down or deny the Holocaust was unacceptable, after criticism that he was slow to respond to remarks made by the Palestinian president in Berlin.

“Our position is clear: we condemn any attempt to deny or downplay the importance of the Holocaust,” Scholz tweeted after a phone call with Yair Lapid. The following day, Scholz expressed his disgust at the comment, and a government spokesperson took the blame for ending the joint news conference before Scholz could respond.
