Iran's president accused Israel on Wednesday of "brutal acts" and "ethnic cleansing" against the Palestinians.
Iran's president accused Israel on Wednesday (April 22) of "brutal acts" and "ethnic cleansing" against the Palestinians, two days after his denunciation of the Jewish state as racist prompted a walk-out from a U.N. meeting on race.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a conference in Tehran on Israel's "genocide and warcrimes" in Gaza that Israeli "criminals"
should be brought to justice for the war in the Palestinian coastal strip in January.
He said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran, according to the international regulations and domestic laws, has began the judicial investigations, and had submitted requests for the arrests of 25 Zionist war criminals to Interpol."
Iran often refers to Israel as the "Zionist regime."
Iran had previously announced that it had taken such action with Interpol.
Ahmadinejad told the meeting of prosecutors from Islamic countries in a speech broadcast live on state television: "The Islamic Republic of Iran expects this organisation, without attention of political aspects, to fulfil these legal duties."
U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday condemned as "appalling and objectionable" Ahmadinejad's comments in a speech the previous day at the U.N. conference on racism in Geneva.
On Monday the Iranian president, who has in the past raised doubts about the Nazi Holocaust, denounced Israel as a "totally racist government" founded "on the pretext of Jewish sufferings".
Ahmadinejad's comments caused European countries not already boycotting the conference to walk out but drew applause from Islamic delegations. Close
