Like I pointed out on May 5, I don't seem to be able to find any of Putin's exact words of apology quoted by any news source, or even paraphrased, anywhere.

However, I did find that there are several statements in both Putin and Bennett's own words about the subject of the meeting: Russia - Israel Relations.

Quoted as follows: Putin and Bennett emphasized the "special significance" of May 9, when Russia and Israel commemorate the victory of Europe and Russia against Nazi Germany, during the conversation on Thursday. The Kremlin stressed that the two countries "carefully preserve the historical truth about the events of those years and honor the memory of all the fallen, including victims of the Holocaust."

"The President of Russia recalled that of the 6 million Jews tortured in ghettos and concentration camps, killed by the Nazis during punitive operations, 40% were citizens of the USSR, and asked to convey wishes of health and well-being to the veterans living in Israel. Naftali Bennett, in turn, noted the decisive contribution of the Red Army to the victory over Nazism," said the Kremlin.

Putin also congratulated Bennett on the occasion of Israel's 74th Independence Day. According to a statement by the Kremlin, the two expressed mutual interest in the further development of friendly relations between Russia and Israel and the maintenance of useful contacts between the leadership of the two countries.

I also invited you and anyone else to post and Link a transcript of Putin's "apology".

Much to my surprise, no one did. The idea that Israel and Russia are having a falling out are just wishful thinking on the part of the local GloboHomoNazi Warmongers.

Bennett’s official statement:

“The Prime Minister accepted President Putin’s apology for Lavrov’s remarks and thanked him for clarifying the President’s attitude towards the Jewish people and the memory of the Holocaust.”
