STATEMENTS BY IRANIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD

That this House notes the recent comments by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denying the Holocaust and calling for a Jewish state to be set up in Europe and for Israel to be removed from the Middle East; notes that this latest comment underlines very serious concerns about the Iranian regime and gives serious offence both to the State of Israel and to the survivors of the Holocaust; observes that this latest outrage comes only a few weeks after President Ahmadinejad called for Israel to `be wiped off the face of the map'; urges the Government, working with the United Nations, to take immediate condemnatory action against Iran, through a resolution of the Security Council; and warns the Iranian President that any further such statements will have significant consequences for Iran.
