Assad defiantly did not listen to Zelensky's speech and took off his headphones at the Arab League summit

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad sparked controversy when he decided not to listen to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's speech at the Arab League summit. During Zelensky's speech, Assad defiantly took off his earphone with simultaneous translation, expressing his unwillingness to listen to the speech of the Ukrainian leader.

This action by Assad caused various reactions and much discussion in the international media and political circles. Many interpret this gesture as a show of disdain and disrespect for Ukraine and its leader, and support for Russia.

This open display of dislike by Assad could exacerbate tensions between the two countries and hamper future diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts. In addition, this action may have an impact on the international community and provoke a reaction from other states and organizations.

However, it should be noted that such gestures and symbolic acts are frequently used tools of political communication. They can serve to underline a position and indicate dislike or disagreement with certain actions or policies of other states.
