Olmert calls for boycott of Iranian president

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert today appealed to the international community to ostracise Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying the world must not “bury its head in the sand” while he calls for Israel’s destruction.

“It is inconceivable that … a member of the United Nations continues to be received throughout the world as a legitimate leader while he stands up and says that another UN member state should be wiped off the map,” Olmert told a business conference.
