“If Trump loses, there is no ready heir to his MAGA crown. Vance, Trump's vice-presidential nominee, would be saddled with at least partial responsibility for Trump's loss, and the American people already view him unfavorably.”

“On the sidelines of the [Ambrosetti] Forum in Italy, I met with a delegation of the US Congress. We talked, in particular, about the victory plan for Ukraine - about some of its details, and we will present all the steps to US President Biden and both presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, in full. Our main focus now, at the beginning of the fall, is to strengthen the positions of Ukraine and Ukrainians as much as possible, protect our cities and villages from Russian terror, and, of course, provide more capabilities for our warriors on the frontlines.”

“There were groups of protesters calling for a ceasefire as early as November and December [last year], and I think that number has been growing in a pretty steady way. The number of protesters had grown pretty dramatically in the past week, with an increasing number of Israelis protesting now understanding that a ceasefire is actually the only way that the captives will return to Israel. I think that's now a pretty common understanding among protesters. You do see a rising number of Israelis wanting this to end whether they are in the streets or not.”

“Attacks and hostilities have left Nasser Medical Complex, Al-Amal and Al-Khair hospitals non-functional. These facilities have no oxygen supply, water, electricity or sewage system. The team saw that the Nasser Medical Complex warehouse - which supplies many hospitals in the south - was burning, and severely damaged. It is estimated that fire has destroyed the majority of supplies, including a substantial amount of essential medicines and medical and trauma supplies provided by WHO and partners. The once robust health system in Gaza is broken. WHO and partners stand ready to support reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, but we need a ceasefire. Nothing else can bring a lasting and humane outcome.”
“WHO team found severe levels of malnutrition, children dying of starvation, serious shortages of fuel, food and medical supplies, hospital buildings destroyed. The situation at Al-Awda Hospital is particularly appalling, as one of the buildings is destroyed. Kamal Adwan Hospital is the only paediatrics hospital in the north of Gaza, and is overwhelmed with patients. The lack of food resulted in the deaths of 10 children. The lack of electricity poses a serious threat to patient care, especially in critical areas like the intensive care unit and the neonatal unit. We appeal to Israel to ensure humanitarian aid can be delivered safely, and regularly. Civilians, especially children, and health staff need scaled-up help immediately. But the key medicine all these patients need is peace. Ceasefire.”
“We need unimpeded, safe access to deliver aid and a humanitarian ceasefire to prevent further death and suffering. Hunger would further harm the sick and make an already terrible situation catastrophic.”
“As the virus pushes at us, we must push back. We're in a much better position than at the beginning of the pandemic. Of course, there's been a lot of progress. We have safe and effective tools that prevent infections, hospitalisations and deaths. However, we should not take them for granted.”
“Our expectation is that the acute phase of this pandemic will end this year, of course with one condition, the 70 percent vaccination [target is achieved] by mid this year around June, July. If that is to be done, the acute phase can really end, and that is what we are expecting. It's in our hands. It's not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice.”
“I'm highly concerned that omicron, being more transmissible (and) circulating at the same time as delta, is leading to a tsunami of cases. That will put immense pressure on exhausted health workers and health systems of the brink of collapse. I still remain optimistic that this can be the year we can not only end the acute stage of the pandemic, but we also chart a path to stronger health security.”
“Blanket booster programmes are likely to prolong the Covid-19 pandemic, rather than ending it, by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of vaccination coverage, giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate. No country can boost its way out of the pandemic.”
“China must be more forthcoming with data and information related to the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. We need to continue until we know the origins, we need to push harder because we should learn from what happened this time in order to (do) better in the future.”
“Seventy-seven countries have now reported cases of Omicron, and the reality is that Omicron is probably in most countries, even if it hasn't been detected yet. Omicron is spreading at a rate we have not seen with any previous variant. Surely, we have learned by now that we underestimate this virus at our peril. Even if Omicron does cause less severe disease, the sheer number of cases could once again overwhelm unprepared health systems.”
“All governments must immediately resume and accelerate efforts to ensure every one of their citizens can access health services without fear of the financial consequences.”
“Emerging data from South Africa suggests increased risk of reinfection with Omicron. There is also some evidence that Omicron causes milder disease than Delta.”
“I well understand the concern of all countries to protect their citizens against a variant that we don't yet fully understand. But I am equally concerned that several member states are introducing blunt, blanket measures that are not evidence-based or effective on their own, and which will only worsen inequities.”
“The lack of a consistent and coherent global approach has resulted in a splintered and disjointed response, breeding misunderstanding, misinformation and mistrust.”
“In many countries and communities, we are concerned about a false sense of security that vaccines have ended the pandemic, and that people who are vaccinated do not need to take any other precautions. Vaccines save lives, but they do not fully prevent transmission.”
“This long-awaited malaria vaccine [Mosquirix] is a breakthrough for science. This is a vaccine developed in Africa by African scientists and we're very proud. Using this vaccine in addition to existing tools to prevent malaria could save tens of thousands of young lives each year.”
“I understand the concern of all governments to protect their people from the Delta variant. But we cannot accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it. We need an urgent reversal from the majority of vaccines going to high-income countries to the majority going to low-income countries.”
“The Delta variant is dangerous and is continuing to evolve and mutate, which requires constant evaluation and careful adjustment of the public health response. Delta has been detected in at least 98 countries, and is spreading quickly in countries with low and high vaccination coverage. The world must equitably share protective gear, oxygen, tests, treatments and vaccines. By July next year, 70 percent of people in every country should be vaccinated. This is the best way to slow the pandemic, save lives and drive a truly global economic recovery, and along the way prevent further dangerous variants from getting the upper hand.”
“The one recommendation I believe will do the most to strengthen WHO [World Health Organization] and global health security is the recommendation of a treaty on pandemic preparedness and response which could also strengthen relations between member states and foster cooperation. This is an idea whose time has come. A [pandemic] treaty would foster improved sharing, trust and accountability, and provide the solid foundation on which to build other mechanisms for global health security.”
