  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 1 hour ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 1 hour ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 1 hour ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 1 hour ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 2 hours ago
  • Margus Tsahkna
    Margus Tsahkna “This is a hybrid attack. If we look at the very different spheres of life in which Russia interferes in our lives on our territory. Whether it is deliberate attacks through the special services on our public assets, on our monuments. Whether it is cyberattacks, or whether it is completely deliberate action in terms of jamming the GPS signal. Russia knows very well that the interference they are causing is very dangerous for our air traffic and, specifically, is also in breach of international conventions to which Russia is a party. So, this is a deliberate action that is disrupting our lives, putting people's lives at risk.” 22 hours ago
  • Osama Hamdan
    Osama Hamdan “It's clear from the Israeli paper that they are still insisting on two major issues. They don't want a complete ceasefire and they are not talking, in a serious way, about the withdrawal from Gaza. In fact, they are still talking about their presence … which means that they will keep continuing [occupying] Gaza. We have serious questions for the mediators. If there [are] positive answers, I think we can move forward. Stopping the attacks against Palestinians is not generous [Blinken claimed that the Israeli proposal was an 'extraordinarily generous' offer]. The attack itself is a crime, so when you stop a crime, you can't claim that it's a generous action from the Israeli side.” 22 hours ago

Afghan government and Taliban peace talks

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Afghan government and Taliban peace talks.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Our view is that, if the Taliban claim to want international legitimacy, these actions are not going to get them the legitimacy they seek. They do not have to stay on this trajectory. They can choose to devote the same energy to the peace process as they are to their military campaign.”

“In spite of the military gains and advances, the Islamic Emirate [of Afghanistan] strenuously favours a political settlement in the country. Every opportunity for the establishment of an Islamic system, peace and security that presents itself will be made use of by the Islamic Emirate. Our message remains that instead of relying on foreigners, let us resolve our issues among ourselves and rescue our homeland from the prevailing crisis.”

“Let's ... take important steps to continue the peace process, to prevent the killing of the people. Because we cannot pay the price for this in blood and we cannot escape responsibility for it.”

“Afghanistan is on the brink of another humanitarian crisis. This can be avoided. This should be avoided. A failure to reach a peace agreement in Afghanistan and stem the current violence will lead to further displacement within the country, as well as to neighbouring countries and beyond. We urge the international community to step up support to the government and people of Afghanistan and its neighbours at this critical moment.”

“It is difficult to anticipate that the Taliban will provide us with their written document of a peace plan in a month but let's be positive. We hope they present (it) so as to understand what they want.”

“The peace talks and process will be accelerated in the coming days...and they are expected to enter an important stage, naturally it will be about peace plans. Possibly it will take a month to reach that stage when both sides will share their written peace plan. Although we (Taliban) have the upper hand on the battlefield, we are very serious about talks and dialogue.”

“Many journalists and media workers have been killed in past 12 months by unknown gunmen which nobody knows who are behind these attacks. They are slow in progress with these talks and this will result in more people getting killed each day. The negotiators must have a sense of urgency and prioritise ceasefire.”

“We are hopeful to see a complete ceasefire in the country as an outcome to this round of talks and a significant decrease in violence. Despite the peace talks, Afghanistan has been covered in blood, many lost their loved ones. We want to see peace and development in the country.”

“Both sides must demonstrate they are acting in the best interest of the Afghan people by making real compromises and negotiating an agreement on a political settlement as soon as possible and an immediate significant reduction in violence/cease-fire.”
