‘Israel must be wiped off the map’

Iran’s hard-line president has called for Israel to be ”wiped off the map” and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks would destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported on Wednesday. In a swipe at some Arab states, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also denounced attempts to recognise Israel or normalise relations with it.
