Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told European nations on Friday to open their doors to the Jews of Israel, so that Israel could be removed from the map of the Middle East.

Speaking to Syrian political personalities in Damascus after a meeting with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, Ahmadinejad said that the Europeans should “prove their sincerity in advocating freedom” by allowing the Jews of Israel to resettle in Europe, Iran’s official news agency IRNA reported.

“Would you open the doors of your own countries to these immigrants in a way that they could travel to any part of Europe they choose?”, Ahmadinejad asked European nations.

The Iranian president complained that the European governments have not given any response to his proposal.

The hard-line president said that no Jew would remain in Israel if he or she had the chance to resettle in Europe.

Ahmadinejad told the Syrian politicians in the meeting that an “alliance against the Zionist regime” comprising Iran, Syria and other Muslim states was being formed “in a natural process”.

Asked by a female participant about the state of women in Islam, the Iranian president said Islam was “the only religion capable of fully materialising all the rights of women”.
