The World Economic Forum (WEF) has concluded in Davos, Switzerland, with participation from prominent politicians and business leaders. Reuters has gathered the most discussed topics of the event.

At the forum, supporters and opponents of Israel came to the conclusion that the new US President Donald Trump could encourage Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to approve the decision regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Meanwhile, Iran declared that its nuclear programme is not aimed at developing atomic weapons. Tehran also stated that it has no intention of threatening its regional neighbours.

At the WEF, heads of state and business leaders voiced support for a ceasefire in Ukraine. In his video message, Trump expressed his willingness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin immediately.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed the deployment of 200,000 European peacekeepers to his country once the fighting ends. However, Moscow opposes this idea.

Forum participants noted that Trump’s rise to power could lead to the consolidation of banks in the US and European countries.

The WEF also discussed cryptocurrency and how the financial sector could adopt it if Washington develops new regulations for digital assets.

Other topics discussed in Davos included artificial intelligence, the energy sector, and the state of the economy in China and European nations.
