More than 60 heads of state and government and hundreds of business leaders are coming to Switzerland to discuss the biggest global challenges during the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering next week, ranging from Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The likes of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Chinese Premier Li Qiang, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and many others will descend on the Alpine ski resort town of Davos on Jan. 15-19, organizers said Tuesday.
Attendees have their work cut out for them with two major wars — the Israel-Hamas conflict and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — plus problems like climate change, major disruptions to trade in the Red Sea, a weak global economy and misinformation powered by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence in a major election year.
Do you really think that Zelenskyy is against the genocide in Gaza? Ukraine has abstained in both UN resolutions about it: ES-10/21 and ES-10/22
Ukraine is in a really tough spot of needing all the aid they can get, they can’t really afford to upset any of their backers even if they want to. Especially with some difficulties already starting to arise on that front with recent elections in Europe, coming elections in the US, general media weariness on the topic etc.
I have no idea of the man’s personal beliefs on this issue but it’s too simple to just look at these votes without taking into account the reality of their situation.
I think he is but his hands are tied and the can’t express himself and risk losing support from countries who also support Israel.
