The Embassy of Israel in Kazakhstan and its diplomatic mission in Kyrgyzstan has strongly condemned the appearance of a sign at a hotel in the city of Osh containing openly antisemitic and offensive statements.

Axar.az reports that the statement was published on the embassy’s official Facebook page.

“The Embassy of the State of Israel to the Republic of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz Republic strongly condemns the appearance of a sign in one of the hotel in the city of Osh in Kyrgyz Republic containing openly antisemitic and offensive statement,” the embassy said.

"Such manifestations are unacceptable and contradict the fundamental principles of respect, equality, and human dignity. We are convinced that any forms of discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, or any other grounds must receive a clear and unequivocal response," the embassy added.

The statement follows reports that a sign reading “No entry for Jews and animals” was displayed at a hotel in Osh, Kyrgyzstan.
