JERUSALEM — Russian President Vladimir Putin has apologised for remarks made by his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who claimed Adolf Hitler may have had"Jewish blood", Israel said on Thursday .
A Kremlin summary of the Bennett-Putin call, which came as Israel marked 74 years since the creation of the Jewish state, made no mention of a Putin apology.In an interview with an Italian media outlet released on Sunday, Mr Lavrov claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky"puts forward an argument of what kind of Nazism can they have if he himself is Jewish".
Mr Bennett denounced the comments as"lies" that he said effectively"accuse the Jews themselves of the most awful crimes in history", perpetrated against themselves.The Russian Foreign Ministry initially doubled down on the remarks. In a statement on Tuesday it called Mr Lapid's criticism"anti-historical," and accused Israel of supporting neo-Nazi's in Ukraine.
Mr Bennett has in particular sought to preserve Russian cooperation with Israeli strikes in Syria, where Russian forces are on the ground.
