    Alon Liel “The move [Egypt joining South Africa's ICJ genocide case against Israel] is an unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel. Egypt is the cornerstone of our standing in the Middle East. The connections that Israel has in the Middle East and North Africa today, including with Jordan, the UAE and Morocco, is all a result of what Egypt did 40 years ago. With Egypt joining South Africa now in The Hague, it's a real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously. This is what I have been warning about. It's coming from several directions. Israel has to … listen to the world - not only to the Israeli public opinion asking now for revenge. We have to look overall in the wider picture, in the long-term security of Israel, not only in the next few weeks in Gaza.” 3 hours ago

    Franz-Stefan Gady “The Russians have understood, just as a lot of analysts have, that the major disadvantage that Ukraine is currently suffering from is manpower. By thinning out the frontline, you are increasing the odds of a breakthrough.” 6 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Syrskyi
    Oleksandr Syrskyi “This week, the situation in Kharkiv Oblast deteriorated substantially. Currently, there are continuing battles along the state's border with Russia. The situation is challenging, but the Defence Forces are doing everything possible to maintain defensive lines and positions, resulting in defeat for the adversary.” 6 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “It is possible that Russia will make further advances in the coming weeks, but we do not anticipate any major breakthroughs, and over time, the influx of U.S. assistance will enable Ukraine to withstand these attacks over the course of 2024.” 6 hours ago
  • Volker Türk
    Volker Türk “I can see no way that the latest evacuation orders, much less a full assault, in an area with an extremely dense presence of civilians, can be reconciled with the binding requirements of international humanitarian law and with the two sets of binding provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice.” 6 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “It is important that partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian stability with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the ones announced.” 19 hours ago
  • Oleh Syniehubov
    Oleh Syniehubov “We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence. As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks.” 19 hours ago

“These patrols have multiple objectives, including testing Taiwan's responses, training PRC pilots, sending warning signals to Taiwan's government, and stoking nationalism at home.”

“Taiwan needs to stand up for itself. In so doing, it will help convince more Americans that the country will defend itself from a Chinese attack. That in turn will increase the odds of American support and decrease the chances of an assault from Beijing ever occurring. Taiwan should also be more like Israel, a strong ally of the United States that nonetheless seldom fails to speak up when Washington does something Israel deems adverse to its national security. Israel can rely on strong congressional support from both political parties, even though its support from left-wing Democrats has waned.”

“I don't expect an all-out attack on Taiwan in, say, a 10-year period, which is as far as I can see. We should have a principal goal of avoiding confrontation. It is foreseeable that China will take measures that will weaken the Taiwanese ability to appear substantially autonomous.”

“The friction between these two leading world powers has grown too wide and deep to bridge with diplomatic niceties. They disagree on almost everything from trade and security to human rights, and in the rare case they agree on an outcome, they disagree on the process. But some of the disagreements, such as the future of Taiwan, are boiling over, risking bringing the two powers into direct confrontation in a reckless test of wills. Beijing seems to insist on bringing the self-governed island back into the fold, by force, if necessary, while Washington appears determined to push back against China's use of military intimidation and economic and diplomatic blackmail to strong-arm Taiwan into submission.”

“The probability of an actual conflict is low between China and Taiwan. It is an issue everyone needs to be concerned with. The real risk is either an accident or a miscalculation. And the more there's engagement, there's talk, there's discussion and there's hopefully a meeting of minds. I think that lowers the risk considerably.”

“We should be concerned. I don't think it's going to war overnight, but it is in a situation where you can have a mishap or a miscalculation and be in a very delicate situation. Washington has significantly boosted engagement with Taipei, China has increasingly tested Taiwan's air defenses and the government in Taipei has taken steps such as printing passports with the name Taiwan on them. All these moves raise suspicions and tensions and anxieties, and make it more likely that a mishap or miscalculation can happen. Everybody says the right thing, but if you look at what is happening it is not a static situation.”

“Current trends in the US, with more focused security 'guarantees' to Taiwan (if implicit), are a major impediment to China succeeding in convincing Taiwan that it has no choice but to capitulate. Xi [Xi Jinping] will therefore seek signals [from Biden] which can be exploited for such propaganda efforts; whether Biden will give him that is very much in question. I doubt that he will.”

“The Chinese People's Liberation Army [PLA] also aims to complete the modernization of its forces by 2035 to obtain superiority in possible operations against Taiwan and viable capabilities to deny foreign forces, posing a grave challenge to our national security. At present, the PLA is capable of performing [a] local joint blockade against our critical harbors, airports, and outbound flight routes, to cut off our air and sea lines of communication and impact the flow of our military supplies and logistic resources. Its intimidating behavior does not only consume our combat power and shake our faith and morale, but also attempts to alter or challenge the status quo in the Taiwan Strait to ultimately achieve its goal of 'seizing Taiwan without a fight'.”

“There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The one-China principle is a universally recognized norm of international relations and universal consensus of the international community. Upholding the one-China principle is the overriding trend with strong popular support. We want to admonish the Taiwan authorities that Taiwan independence leads to a dead end, dollar diplomacy is rejected by all, and all attempts to reverse the historical trend by soliciting foreign support are bound to fail.”

“I've received countless notes of congratulations after being blacklisted and sanctioned, for life, by the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. Many are jealous for not being recognized; some ask where they can apply for it. To deserve the rare honor, I'll keep fighting for Taiwan's freedom and democracy.”

“Some people openly advocate secession in Taiwan, but their relatives have been operating businesses in the Chinese mainland for many years. Some Taiwan businessmen have never prevented their relatives from pursuing secession or anti-mainland activities. Now it is very simple: if your relatives in the island advocate secession, then you cannot go to the Chinese mainland to make money. In the future, as long as anyone has secessionist tendencies or openly supports secessionism, whether in word or deed, he will not be able to obtain an entry certificate to the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao. The sanction scope can be much broader than just the DPP camp.”

“Aside from entry ban, we would not allow the companies or paymasters of these diehard secessionists [You Si-kun, Su Tseng-chang, Joseph Wu] to profit from Chinese mainland, and will also take other measures to punish them. We want to tell these diehard secessionists that those who forget their heritage, betray their motherland, and seek to split the country will come to no good end and will be disdained by the people and condemned by history. The Chinese mainland will seek criminal responsibility for them, valid for life.”

“A fundamental danger is that the political conflicts across the Taiwan Straits are intensifying with no sign of easing. The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority is opposed to reunification and is seeking 'independence.' The strategic hostility of the US toward the Chinese mainland continues to rise. No matter how to evaluate a war, predictions that a war will eventually occur due to irreconcilable political conflicts or miscalculation are growing among the three sides [China - Taiwan - US].”

“Peaceful reunification would likely result from applying enough pressure to make the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] leadership believe it had no choice but to surrender. Personally, I believe there is still a chance for peaceful reunification, but it must be based on the condition that the DPP authority feels cornered and will perish if they do not accept reunification.”

“Whenever Taiwan is gaining something, or having a new friendship, or being able to do something on the international stage, the Chinese would think that they are losing and they want to cut back on Taiwan's international participation. So, in that sense, it's a very direct competition between Taiwan and China on the international stage. What China wants to do is to make sure that Taiwan is dangling out in the international community alone - no friends, no support. But, of course, as minister of foreign affairs my responsibility is to make sure that Taiwan has friends out there.”

“Here is this island of 23 million people trying hard every day to protect ourselves and protect our democracy and making sure that our people have the kind of freedom they deserve. If we fail, then that means people that believe in these values would doubt whether these are values that they (should) be fighting for.”
