He was to leave the room by officials.
“Your father-in-law was an Israel lobbyist, your grandfather is an Israel lobbyist. Are you compromised by Israel? How does it feel to have your legacy as genocide,” the journalist asked as he was taken out,” before being taken out of the room where the press briefing was taking place.
