Does Eisenberg speak Italian?
An ambassador is not required to speak the language of the country to which he is assigned.
Many Israeli ambassadors to the US didn’t speak English.
Maybe it’s not a requirement, but surely it is an advantage. Not that the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of ambassadors, but how effective can one be if s/he can’t communicate reliably with the native people (who will generally speak English, but you lose a lot in translation) or pick up on what’s going on peripherally around them?
All Israelis know Hinglish perfectly……….Ehhhhhhhhhhh………I drrink Monte doo sooda…………….Vat for you know?…
