‘Rouhani blanks Jewish reporter at Rome press conference’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIranian President Mahmoud Rouhani reportedly walks out of the room at a Rome press conference when asked about human rights by an Italian Jewish reporter.
According to sources who witnessed the encounter, Rouhani chooses to skip a question from Adam Smulevich from Pagine Ebraiche, who asks: “Mr. President, how do you think we can trust your words and your propaganda if your nation continues to be ranked as one of the top countries to promote the denial of human rights?”
