Zelenskyy, Blinken, Israeli president and more will come to Davos to talk about global challenges
More than 60 heads of state and government and hundreds of business leaders will discuss the biggest global challenges during the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering in Switzerland next week.
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.
I hope Zelenskyy tells Netanhayu to stop his genocide or get bent.
He's not gonna do that if he wants to keep getting sent weapons.
I know. 😞
that would be fun to watch
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.
I hope Zelenskyy tells Netanhayu to stop his genocide or get bent.
Tell me you have no idea about Ukraine without telling me you have no idea about Ukraine
This is the best summary I could come up with:
LONDON (AP) — 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.
Trust has eroded on peace and security, with global cooperation down since 2016 and plummeting since 2020, forum President Borge Brende said at a briefing.
Brende noted that there are fears about escalation of the conflict in Gaza and that key stakeholders — including the prime ministers of Qatar, Lebanon and Jordan as well as Herzog — were coming to Davos to “look how to avoid a further deterioration and also what is next, because we also have to inject some silver linings.”
Major figures — including U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan, new Argentina President Javier Milei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella — will discuss big ideas in hundreds of public sessions and speeches or in other talks surrounding the event.
There’s also more secretive backroom deal-making in the upscale hotels along Davos’ Promenade, near the conference center that hosts the gathering.

Blinkin should just drug all of them, forge all of their signatures on a bunch of peace treaties, photoshop a bunch of group photos, put them on their jets back home, and be like, “Hooray, guys, we did it! World peace, yay! Great job!"
That's not how you gain more power....
