Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

"I view with utmost severity the Russian Foreign Minister's statement.

His words are untrue and their intentions are wrong.

The goal of such lies is to accuse the Jews themselves of the most awful crimes in history, which were perpetrated against them, and thereby absolve Israel's enemies of responsibility.

As I have already said, no war in our time is like the Holocaust or is comparable to the Holocaust.

The use of the Holocaust of the Jewish people as a political tool must cease immediately."
