Russia accuses Israeli minister of 'anti-historical statements' as war of words grows
Russia's foreign ministry has accused an Israeli minister of making "anti-historical statements" after he condemned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for claiming Hitler had been part Jewish.
Lavrov sparked a firestorm of criticism in Israel after he said Hitler "had Jewish blood" and that "the most ardent anti-Semites are usually Jews".
Israel's foreign minister Yair Lapid demand an apology, saying Lavrov had made "both an unforgivable and outrageous statement as well as a terrible historical error. Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust."
But on Tuesday, Russia's foreign ministry doubled down on Lavrov's comments, tweeting that Lapid had made "anti-historical statements... which largely explain why the current Israeli government supports the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv".
Russia has repeatedly made baseless claims that the Ukrainian government is run by neo-Nazis as a justification for its invasion.
The war of words between Israel and Russia risks becoming the most serious diplomatic crisis between the two countries in recent times.
Israel has friendly relations with both Ukraine and Russia and has led international mediation efforts to try to stop the war in Ukraine.

Bono visits Kyiv to back Ukraine's 'freedom fight'
U2 frontman Bono has added his voice to support for Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion, performing an acoustic set in a hall of the Kyiv metro together with bandmate The Edge.
"The people in Ukraine are not just fighting for your own freedom, you are fighting for all of us who love freedom," the Irish rock star said during a break, as quoted by AFP news agency.
A small audience at Kreshchatik Station heard U2 classics Sunday Bloody Sunday, Desire and With Or Without You.
Bono was joined by a Ukrainian singer in military uniform, Taras Topolia of the band Antytila, to sing the old soul standard Stand By Me, but changing the words to Stand By Ukraine.
