Saudi Prince Faisal bin Farhan will present the positions of Islamic countries in the absence of Israel, which has declined to attend the summit
Fucking disgusting that peace in Gaza involves an absolute monarch who oppresses women and murders critical journalists.
The Saudi prince can go overdose on cocaine for all I care, fuck the royal family and their nonsense.
Ok have fun with the conference thing.
expecting literally any of the middle east countries to actually care about Gaza or humanity in general
KSA doesn’t even give out citizenship to people born in their country, let alone take in refugees. Why do they even pretend to care.

Could you explain how hosting this makes them a joke?

Considering the list of countries and the fact that interpreters are standard at events like this, not an issue. So how is Spain a joke again?
Edit: oh it’s you again.
It seems to me that not being able to speak other languages tells you something about the level of education and breadth of knowledge of a person or at least about their open mindedness or lack of thereof.
I know most of the world is multilingual but only knowing one language isn’t the sign of a lack of education.
In fact judging someone for not know how to speak another language is eliteism.
Context is important. Consider the context and re read the comments.
Like what?
I’m sure more than one of those people have issues with languages that some of the others are well versed in, and interpreters have been part of international diplomacy as long as there has been diplomacy.
There are many languages, I don’t think it is reasonable to expect people to be fluent in even four of them.
Indeed. but like I said this is related to open mindeness, even if you don’t know the other specific culture you at least have some sense of what things that your culture hold as unquestionable truths turn out not to be for “outsiders”. making extrapolations with at least a good idea of another culture you are not part of is going to give you a way more reasonable explanation than estimating another culture with 1 datapoint.
Borrel barely know how to speak English
It’s not a good look if you make a grammar mistake when criticizing someone’s command of language.

Ah, see, we don’t say ‘licking ass’ in English. Again, maybe don’t criticise someone’s ability to use english when you have issues with it yourself.

I’m not at a conversational level with my second language.
“Among the European ministers who have confirmed their attendance are those of France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, and Portugal, while representing the Arab nations will be the heads of diplomacy of Jordan — which co-chairs the UfM — Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Lebanon, and Morocco, as well as the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).”
Plus top bosses of the EU foreign policy.
