Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been criticised for saying a Palestinian leader persuaded the Nazis to carry out the Holocaust.
Mr Netanyahu insisted Adolf Hitler had only wanted to expel Jews from Europe, but that Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini told him: “Burn them.”
However, the chief historian at Israel’s memorial to the Holocaust said this account was factually incorrect.
Israel’s opposition leader called it “a dangerous historical distortion”.
