Aisa's "slip of the tongue" sparks controversy in Jordan... Video
The Lebanese actress, Elissa, sparked an interaction on social media, the day before yesterday, Tuesday, because of a "slip of the tongue" while speaking at a press conference.
Social media users circulated a video of Elissa during her speech at the conference to launch the "Bridges" initiative in cooperation with the United Nations Economic and Social Committee for Western Asia "ESCWA", held in Jordan. She said "potato" instead of "unemployment", but she quickly reformed the word.
Elissa explained jokingly with the present audience that her "slip of the tongue" will become the talk of social media, so that the audience laughs and applauds her.
Elisa's "slip of the tongue" was ridiculed by many users of social networking sites, as some explained that the Lebanese artist was feeling hungry at that time, while another user wrote jokingly: "Indeed, unemployment and potatoes are one, because potatoes are as big as unemployment in The Arab world, but you are sweet.
Jusoor is a regional initiative that aims to reduce inequalities in the region, and ESCWA chose Elisa as its advertising face.
Today, Tuesday, the work of the first Arab Forum for Equality concluded in the Jordanian capital, Amman, under the auspices of the United Nations Commission "ESCWA", which was launched last Monday, and is entitled "Towards Inclusive Employment for Young Men and Women in the Arab Region".
The forum aims to provide a regional platform for Arab countries to meet periodically in order to discuss the main issues related to inequality in an integrated manner, and to put forward ideas and practical solutions for the policies required to reduce it.
🎤 During Elissa's speech at the conference to launch the "Bridges" initiative in cooperation with ESCWA in Jordan, she said with her usual spontaneity, "Al-Baata" about "unemployment", but she quickly reformed the word, and said jokingly, "Hey, I will comment on it on the social media." Applause from the audience..Details https://t.co/iPeUMVGVrE pic.twitter.com/g4q9OvMrlx
