The Venezuelan Confederation of Israeli Associations (CAIC) Wednesday voiced disagreement with an upcoming visit of Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadineyad to Venezuela due to his aggressive stance against Israel.

In a press release posted on local newspapers, the organization, in the name of the Venezuelan-Jewish community, including many survivors of the Holocaust, regretted "the continued and constant threats to wipe Israel off the map and his (Ahmadineyad's) unreasonable, cynic statements to deny the Holocaust."

"We speak up against the Iranian president's remarks that encourage hatred, endanger the world peace and undermine the efforts made by democratic peoples for peaceful living together," stated the notice, as quoted by DPA.

Ahmadineyad is to pay a two-hour visit to Venezuela on Thursday, following his trip to Bolivia, according to President Hugo Chávez.
