CEO of tech conference resigns amid backlash for statements over Israel-Hamas war_我的网站

A |     NEW YORK -- Paddy Cosgrave, the chief executive officer of a prominent European tech conference called Web Summit, resigned from his role on Saturday amid backlash for his public statements that suggested Israel was committing war crimes.A spokesperson for Web Summit, which organizes one of the world's largest tech conferences every year, said in an e-mailed statement sent to The Associated Press that it will appoint a new CEO, and the conference will go ahead next month in Lisbon as planned. Cosgrave, the Irish entrepreneur who is also founder of Web Summit, said in a statement Saturday that his personal comments “have become a distraction from the event, and our team, our sponsors, our startups and the people who attend.”“I sincerely apologise again for any hurt I have caused,” he said.Cosgrave’s resignation is a prominent example of the fallout from the Israel-Hamas war that has spilled into workplaces everywhere, as top leaders of prominent companies weigh in with their views while workers complain their voices are not being heard. Islamic rights advocates say much of the corporate response has minimized the suffering in Gaza, where thousands have died in Israeli airstrikes, and created an atmosphere of fear for workers who want to express support for Palestinians. Jewish groups have criticized tepid responses or slow reactions to the Oct. 7 Hamas rampage that killed 1,400 people in Israel and triggered the latest war.Web Summit faced a growing number of industry giants — including Intel, Meta and Google — pulling out of the conference even after Cosgrave released a long message denouncing the Hamas attacks and apologizing for the timing of his initial tweet while defending his overall views on the conflict. Cosgrave posted on his X account, formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 13 that he was “shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland’s government, who for once are doing the right thing. ”“War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are,” he added.Two days later, he updated his tweet calling “what Hamas did is outrageous and disgusting” but adding, "Israel has a right to defend itself, but it does not, as I have already stated, have a right to break international law." In a later apology that was posted Oct. 17 on the Web Summit blog and shared on his X account, he said, “What is needed at this time is compassion, and I did not convey that,” he said. “My aim is and always has been to strive for peace.”He went on to say that “I also believe that, in defending itself, Israel should adhere to international law and the Geneva Conventions – i.e. not commit war crimes. This belief applies equally to any state in any war. No country should breach these laws, even if atrocities were committed against it.”His last post on X read: “Bye for now. Need some time off this platform.”______Follow Anne D’Innocenzio: http://twitter.com/ADInnocenzio。    本篇评级为★★★，主要围绕以下内容展开：                    1、特朗普最后通牒，节后市场会剧烈波动吗？          2、下一个决定力量：美联储和国内政策会议                    如有疑问请以音频内容为准，添加妙投小虎哥微信miaotou515，入群有机会与董小姐进一步交流。                   新闻解读评级说明：五星重磅，四星重要，三星级以下大家选择听。

B |                    1、特朗普最后通牒，节后市场会剧烈波动吗？          这个清明节，相信很多朋友过得内心动荡，非常没有安全感。原因就是中东的这场冲突好像还在继续给市场施压，没有解决的迹象。这两天，特朗普已经开始急得爆粗口，他在社交媒体上骂伊朗是“疯子”，威胁让伊朗去“下地狱”，如果再不开放海峡，就要炸伊朗的基础设施。                   但是我们看到，特朗普表面上非常强硬，实际上内里已经很虚弱。很戏剧化的一点是，我们看到他一方面在爆粗口，另一方面把对伊朗的最后通牒时间又往后推了24个小时，而且是悄悄推的，没有对外大张旗鼓地宣称。这说明什么呢？说明特朗普现在非常希望能够达成协议，给自己找一个台阶退场。                   我们先来看一下美国这个时间点的变化。之前特朗普信誓旦旦地说，4月6号如果达不成协议，晚上8点就开始轰炸。但是现在变成了美国时间4月7号晚上8点，对应的中国北京时间就是4月8号早晨8点钟。这个时间点大家可以稍微留意一下，周三早晨8点钟，有可能在中东再次有猛烈的炮火。

C | 不管特朗普最后会不会炸一圈之后选择硬气地退场，还是说在4月8号之前按着伊朗的头达成一个初步的协议，但不管怎么选，其实他已经暴露了自己的软肋，就是不停地到处找台阶，希望能够退场。                   本文为妙投付费内容，上述仅为摘要，购买本专栏即可解锁完整内容。
