Israel is facing international condemnation over the attack that claimed at least 20 lives and wounded dozens more. Several European states have summoned Israeli ambassadors over the assault. Ahmadinejad condemned the move on Monday, saying the attack on the Freedom Flotilla was a sign of Israel's weakness.
"A select few (Israel) think that such actions are a sign of power, whereas they should be aware this will lead to their end," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on Monday by Fars News Agency.
"Someone asked me why I no longer say Israel must be torn down. I said because there is no (no longer a)need to say Israel must be demolished -- as this regime will self destruct," he added. The Iranian president also called on Tel Aviv's allies to stop supporting a regime that acts like a "professional assassin."
"The time is ripe for the international community and the conscientious to take a resolute stance against the recurring crimes of this occupier and belligerent regime," Ahmadinejad said. The convoy, consisting of nine ships, was carrying 10,000 tons of supplies and hundreds of politicians, activists and journalists.
The Flotilla was seeking to break Israel's crippling blockade of Gaza and deliver basic necessities to the impoverished Palestinians living in the coastal enclave.
