Meridor: Iran never called to wipe out Israel

Speaking to Al Jazeera, deputy PM admits Ahmadinejad was misquoted, never said Israel must be wiped off the map. 

Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy Dan Meridor told Al Jazeera that Iran never vowed to “wipe off the map,” as Prime Minister Benjamin has repeatedly claimed.

They repeatedly said ‘Israel is not legitimate, it should not exist’.”
