Two prominent US Jewish groups on Friday also denounced the move.

The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, a human rights group, issued a travel advisory to warn Jews of Reykjavik's "racist vote" which it said could "create an environment hostile to Israelis and other Jews."

The New York-headquartered World Jewish Congress meanwhile urged Iceland's federal government to act against the boycott, which it said "only strengthens extremists on both sides."
