  • Herzi Halevi
    Herzi Halevi “Iran's attack on the country will be met with a response. When we look ahead, we consider our steps. The launch of so many cruise missiles and drones into Israeli territory will be met with a response.” 11 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “Iran's massive aerial attack on Israel was a spectacular and embarrassing failure. We've seen reporting that the Iranians meant to fail, and this spectacular and embarrassing failure was all by design. All of this is categorically false.” 12 hours ago
  • Jamal Rushdi
    Jamal Rushdi “War crimes committed by the Israeli occupation on a daily basis in Gaza should not cover up what is happening in the West Bank. The imposition of sanctions by some countries on a number of colonists represents a small, late step that is insufficient to halt such attacks.” 16 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “Our commitment is ironclad to defending Israel and to helping Israel defend itself. As the president has said many times, we don't seek a wider war in the region. We don't seek a war with Iran.” 16 hours ago
  • Itamar Ben-Gvir
    Itamar Ben-Gvir “Defence Minister Gallant's decision to evacuate and destroy buildings on the Gal Yosef farm, where 14-year old Benjamin Achimeir was murdered, even during the week of shiva [mourning], represents terrible obtuseness, moral confusion, security folly and a violation of the dignity of the dead. Instead of establishing and approving more farms and expanding Jewish settlements, we surrender to the enemy. The time has come for the prime minister to consider replacing Minister Gallant.” 16 hours ago

“The most important thing is about the timing. It's important to know why this war resumed right now. The Addis Ababa government must have known that Tigrayan forces are at their weakest point. The organisation and relaunch of war is important.”

“The first phase operation to expel the terrorist group from the areas it invaded has ended with victory. At this moment the enemy's desire and ability (to engage in war) is severely destroyed. The government will take further steps to make sure that (the Tigray forces) desire won't arise again in the future. For now, Ethiopian forces are ordered to maintain the areas it has controlled.”

“As we have seen in recent weeks, the national defence forces together with allied forces from the Afar region and the Amhara region have made considerable gains in reversing the occupation by TPLF of many Amhara and Afar towns. These gains have been made in very heavy battles that have been undertaken over the past weeks, the most recent being the full clearing of TPLF from North Wollo Zone and liberating its strategic capital Woldiya.”

“The TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] have sustained great losses over the past weeks and hence are claiming 'strategic retreat' to make up for defeat. There are still pockets in the Amhara region in which they remain as well as other fronts they are attempting to open the conflict.”

“We hope that by us withdrawing, the international community will do something about the situation in Tigray as they can no longer use as an excuse that our forces are invading Amhara and Afar.”

“The global paralysis on Ethiopia's armed conflict has emboldened human rights abusers to act with impunity and left communities at risk feeling abandoned. As evidence of atrocities mounts, world leaders should support the creation of an international investigative mechanism and the UN Security Council should put Ethiopia on its formal agenda.”

“The new onslaught of abuses by Amhara forces against Tigrayan civilians remaining in several towns in Western Tigray should ring alarm bells. Without urgent international action to prevent further atrocities, Tigrayans, particularly those in detention, are at grave risk.”

“The West needs to make up for its mistakes in Ethiopia. It misjudged Abiy [Abiy Ahmed]. It empowered Isaias [Isaias Afwerki]. Now the issue is whether a country of 110 million people can be prevented from unraveling.”

“From that day, Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] felt he was one of the most influential personalities in the world. He felt he had a lot of international support, and that if he went to war in Tigray, nothing would happen. And he was right.”

“Ethiopia's intensified use of drones and the mobilisation of new recruits for the national army had increased pressure on Tigrayan forces. This has really hit the Tigrayan supply lines and meant that they had to give up on those offensive ambitions. Certainly Tigrayan commanders and leaders had expressed a lot of confidence about their position. So it wouldn't be a massive surprise if, despite these setbacks, they were able to recover - and unfortunately that would mean this war dragging on for many months.”

“The Tigrayans have been pushed a long way back. They have been pushed back through towns and villages that they fought extremely hard to take. They must have lost many lives in order to capture them.”

“It [Chifra] has been the epicentre of military operations during the past 40 days. The scenes we witnessed are very appalling. Dead bodies everywhere on the streets. It is living proof of the ferociousness of the fighting. There are clear signs of the lack of humanity in this conflict. The town's commercial shops were totally destroyed, even the mosques were not spared. All the residents have fled for their lives and the town has turned into military barracks for the Afari fighters. The Afari fighters have seized the city and are now advancing towards the towns of Bati and Kombolcha.”

“In terms of negotiation or ceasefire, there seems to be a growing distance between the two sides. With the conflict ongoing and impacting so many people, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. There's determination from both sides to win it 100 percent.”

“The recent TPLF offensive has coincided with highly restricted humanitarian access to Tigray, which has left hundreds of thousands of people in the region on the brink of famine. While the joint report has absolved the government of charges of deliberate deprivation of humanitarian access, and the TPLF offensive naturally continues to disrupt aid efforts, the federal government could and should do more to facilitate humanitarian access. Humanitarian needs should always have priority over military maneuvers.”
