Russia slams Netanyahu over WWII remarks

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating his recent comments show disrespect to all victims of the Second World War. She was responding to Netanyahu's remarks at Israel's Memorial Day ceremony, where he claimed Iran had 'planned another Holocaust' and compared Iranian nuclear sites to Nazi death camps. Zakharova accused the Israeli leader of substituting concepts and distorting facts. Netanyahu had framed the recent U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran as having removed an 'immediate existential threat' to Israel.
