Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a 'disgrace to his country', German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Thursday, a day after Ahmadinejad's controversial speech before the UN General Assembly.

Ahmadinejad accused Israel at the UN General Assembly Wednesday of subjecting the Palestinians to 'genocide'.

'That kind of remark is not just intolerable. This president is a disgrace to his country,' said Steinmeier in Berlin.

The speech prompted many delegations to walk out of the assembly hall in protest. Israel did not attend at all.
