Israel’s opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he hoped to bring Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to international trial for incitement to genocide. Ahmadinejad has provoked international outcry by referring to the killing of six million Jews in World War Two as a “myth” and calling for Israel to be “wiped off the map”. Speaking at a conference in Israel, Netanyahu said he and other Israelis were trying to bring the Iranian leader to the International Court of Justice. “We are working to bring Ahmadinejad to stand trial as a war criminal for his call for genocide,” he said. “The 1948 universal declaration of human rights does not just prohibit acts of genocide but also deals with incitement to genocide. And according to this, we are aiming to lobby international figures.”
