..."Israel’s Foreign Ministry called for Russia to take “robust action” against the demonstrators. The president’s office said that the Israeli ambassador to Russia was working with Russian authorities on safeguarding Jews and Israelis in the country, according to the AP.

Russia’s Investigative Committee in Dagestan announced late Sunday that it had opened a criminal case on charges of “organizing mass disorder,” the Moscow Times said.

Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the incident in a post on X, calling the footage “appalling.” The Ukrainian president, an early and vocal proponent of Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks, went on to allege that the episode was a symptom of Russia’s “deeply rooted” culture of antisemitism and xenophobia.

“Russian antisemitism and hatred toward other nations are systemic and deeply rooted,” he added. “Hatred is what drives aggression and terror. We must all work together to oppose hatred.”
