The Kremlin denied President Putin's apology to Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett over Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's comments about Hitler having Jewish blood.
The Kremlin had issued a statement that includes the content of the conversation between the two sides; the statement does not include any apology.
Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov commented Thursday saying that the conversation that took place between the two leaders was exactly as stated in the Kremlin's statement.
This comes after Israeli media quoted earlier today the Israeli occupation government's presidency as saying that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett "accepted" Russian President Vladimir Putin's apology about the statements over Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's Hitler remarks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, on the so-called Israeli "Independence Day" in a phone call on Thursday, the Kremlin revealed.
In the phone call, Putin apologized to Bennett for Lavrov's statements, which the latter said he "accepted", as per the claims of the Israeli PM's office.
