Look for Netanyahu to be the keynote speaker at Iran's next Holocaust 'revisionism' conference.
Here's the language in question copied and pasted directly from the Israeli government's website:
And this attack and other attacks on the Jewish community in 1920, 1921, 1929, were instigated by a call of the Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was later sought for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials because he had a central role in fomenting the final solution. He flew to Berlin. Hitler didnt want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, "If you expel them, they'll all come here." "So what should I do with them?" he asked. He said, "Burn them." And he was sought in, during the Nuremberg trials for prosecution. He escaped it and later died of cancer, after the war, died of cancer in Cairo. But this is what Haj Amin al-Husseini said. He said, ":The Jews seek to destroy the Temple Mount." My grandfather in 1920 seeks to destroy ? Sorry, the al-Aqsa Mosque.

For the record, the Final Solution was fully underway well before Hitler met the mufti.
This should end his career, but won't.
David Irving made the same claim, that Hitler only wanted to deport them.
Yes, that David Irving.

Netanyhau: Hitler only wanted to expel Jews, but Jerusalem mufti told him to burn them
Source: Haaretz
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked public uproar when on Wednesday he claimed that the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was the one who planted the idea of the extermination of European Jewry in Adolf Hitler's mind. The Nazi ruler, Netanyahu said, had no intention of killing the Jews, but only to expel them.

I agree with her--that resolution is deplorable and would only make things a lot worse. It also confirms a lot of the criticism that gets lobbed at UNESCO.
UNESCO chief ‘deplores’ bid to name Western Wall part of Al-Aqsa
http://www.timesofisrael.com/unesco-chief-deplores-bid-to-name-western-wall-part-of-al-aqsa/The move, Irina Bokova warned on UNESCOs website, could be seen to alter the status of the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls and incite further tensions.
The executive board had been scheduled to vote Tuesday on a resolution submitted by Arab states that would officially recognize the Western Wall as part of the Muslim holy site, but Bokova postponed the vote until Wednesday. United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) sources say a number of countries are attempting to postpone the vote beyond Wednesday.
We all have responsibility to UNESCOs mandate, to take decisions that promote dialogue, tolerance and peace, Bokova said.
The director-general urged both sides to ensure that the cultural and religious heritage at the holy site is preserved and accessible to everyone, and encouraged a return to dialogue in the spirit of mutual understanding.
