Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin met with Israeli officials during a lunch hosted by his Israeli counterpart. During Thursday’s meeting, Ezer Weizman said Russia’s relations with the Jewish people were filled “with many wonderful things, but also sorrows.” Yeltsin, making a three-day visit to the region to mark the first Russian Orthodox Christmas of the new millennium, responded that Russian officials “have put an end” to anti-Semitism.
