Iran: Presidential Comments on Israel
- Question
- Whether they will make representations, during their presidency of the European Union, to President Ahmadinejad of Iran concerning his remarks about the future of Israel on 8 December.
- Answer
-
On 8 December, President Ahmadinejad reportedly questioned the existence of the Holocaust and proposed that Israel should be moved to Europe. My right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary, acting on behalf of the UK presidency of the European Union, condemned the comments unreservedly. He called them wholly unacceptable and said they had no place in civilised political debate.
