how to say “the international community” in Hebrew

 

הַקְּהִלִּיָּה הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּית

 

 
The common Modern Hebrew word for community is קְהִלָּה  listen and repeat. This word appears in Biblical Hebrew, but there the more common word is קָהָל  listen and repeat or עֵדָה  listen and repeat.
 
Now קהילה refers to a community of people, linked by common interests or geography. But to describe a community of institutions or nations, Modern Hebrew has created קְהִלִּיָּה  listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
הַקְּהִלִּיָּה הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּית מְגִיבָה.
The international community is responding.
 
Sometimes the international community is also referred to as הַקְּהִלָּה הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּית  listen and repeat.
