Press Release: Knesset Speaker Edelstein: ”No words left to describe hypocrisy of heads of state who host Iranian president on Holocaust Remembrance Day” | Knesset

During Wednesday`s plenary sitting, Knesset Speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein addressed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani`s four-day visit to Italy and France and said ”yesterday, we all learned that the president of Iran, who we thought was a cruel and insensitive man who holds a Holocaust denial exhibit, is actually a very sensitive person, so much so that the statues in Rome were covered in his honor, so that his feelings would not be hurt. And if we thought he was not a cultured man and does not respect science and culture, it turns out that he will address UNESCO, the United Nation`s science and culture organization, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.”
