Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov on Jews, said that Russia and Israel were continuing a confidential dialogue.
“We continue our confidential friendly dialogue with Israeli friends. The president is in touch with Mr. Bennett, they agreed to continue contacts,” Peskov said, commenting on the incident with Lavrov’s statement, and whether the minister should apologize.
Peskov did not comment on the information that Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the press service of the Prime Minister of Israel, apologized in the phone call with Bennett for the words of the head of the Russian diplomatic origin of Adolf Hitler.
Journalists, during a conversation with the press secretary, reminded that the Chancellery of the Israeli Prime Minister reported Putin’s apologies, which was not said in the message posted on the Kremlin’s website. “The conversation was really very important, but at the moment we have nothing to add to what we reported in a written message based on the results of this communication,” Peskov noted.
