Olmert also said that Iran's nuclear program must be stopped.
Olmert's remarks came after Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki on 20 February said Ahmadinejad had been misunderstood when he said recently that Israel should be "wiped off the map," a comment that sparked international outrage.
Mottaki said Ahmadinejad was not talking about destroying Israel but rather changing its government.
Ahmadinejad has also described the Holocaust as "a myth."
