Sergei Lavrov made the claim as he hit out at Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an interview with Italian media
Israeli foreign minister Yair Lapid said the comments were"scandalous and a horrible historical error".
He added:"The Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust. The lowest level of racism against Jews is to blame Jews themselves for antisemitism."Russian advance 'has stalled in east' Israel has tried to hold a position of neutrality during the war and has been measured in its criticism of Russia, who it relies on for security coordination in the Middle East.In his bid to legitimise the war to Russian citizens, President Putin has portrayed the battle as a struggle against Nazis in Ukraine, even though the country has a democratically-elected government and a Jewish president whose relatives were killed in the Holocaust.
Just hours into the invasion, Mr Putin appealed directly to Ukrainian troops and said it was"easier to negotiate with you" than the"gang of Nazis that has captured Kyiv".In February, Mr Lavrov said"we will do everything possible to ensure that the Ukrainian government is independent", adding:"At the moment it is under external control with the aim to support or encourage Nazi philosophy and it is under Western control.
