  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “U.S. and European support for Ukraine has been essential for Ukraine's resistance to Russia's invasion. And let me be clear: It is also critical for the security of the American and European people. If we stand by as dictators violate territorial integrity and flout the international rules-based order, they have no reason to stop at their initial targets. They will keep going. The U.S. and Europe must show that Russia cannot outlast their resolve to defend a rules-based order that took them decades to shape. This includes the need to crack down on Russian sanctions evasion and provide Ukraine the funding to equip its military, fund critical government services and ultimately rebuild once the conflict ends. That's why I believe it's vital and urgent that we collectively find a way forward to unlock the value of Russian sovereign assets immobilized in our jurisdictions for the benefit of Ukraine. This will be a key topic of conversation during G7 meetings this week.” 5 minutes ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “We reject the prosecutor's equivalence of Israel with Hamas. It is shameful.” 11 minutes ago
  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “The ICC prosecutor's application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: Whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.” 12 minutes ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Western allies are taking too long to make key decisions , opens new tabon military support for Ukraine. Every decision to which we, then later everyone together, comes to is late by around one year. Russians are using 300 planes on the territory of Ukraine. We need at least 120, 130 planes to resist in the sky. You can't provide that right now? OK ... returning to the planes that you have on the territory of neighbouring NATO countries: raise them up ... shoot down targets, protect civilians. Can they do this? I'm sure that yes. Is this an attack by NATO countries, involvement? No.” 14 minutes ago
  • Balakrishnan Rajagopal
    Balakrishnan Rajagopal “On the request by the ICC Prosecutor for warrants: against Hamas, the charges of hostage taking and killing likely to stand but not others. Against Israeli leaders, all charges likely to stick. And missing charges include attacks against various civilian objects including homes!” 2 hours ago
  • Hadja Lahbib
    Hadja Lahbib “The request submitted by the Court's prosecutor, Karim Khan, for arrest warrants against both Hamas and Israeli officials is an important step in the investigation of the situation in Palestine. Belgium will continue to support the essential work of international justice to ensure that those responsible for all crimes are held accountable.” 2 hours ago
  • Bezalel Smotrich
    Bezalel Smotrich “We haven't seen such a show of hypocrisy and hatred of Jews like that of the Hague Tribunal since Nazi propaganda.” 2 hours ago
  • Benny Gantz
    Benny Gantz “Drawing parallels between the leaders of a democratic country determined to defend itself from despicable terror to leaders of a blood-thirsty terror organisation [Hamas] is a deep distortion of justice and blatant moral bankruptcy.” 2 hours ago
  • Geoffrey Nice
    Geoffrey Nice “I'm pleased to see that the law is now occupying the place it should. Until now, politics has been suspected of holding back the application of the law and in a way that's been very unsatisfactory - now the law is saying it's going to play its part, so that's a good thing. Don't prejudge the issue, it's an application for arrest warrants by Mr Khan in respect to people on both sides and we wait for the judges decision whether to confirm or not.” 2 hours ago
  • Sami Abu Zuhri
    Sami Abu Zuhri “The decision by the ICC prosecutor to seek arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders equates the victim with the executioner. the ICC decision gives encouragement to Israel to continue its war of extermination in Gaza.” 2 hours ago
  • James Bays
    James Bays “The ICC deals with only serious crimes but when you hear what is detailed on both sides, it really is sobering. On the Israeli side, he is naming the prime minister and the defence minister but says this was a state policy, this was official government policy to use starvation as a method of war. I think it is interesting that he's decided to make this public at this stage because the other important decision by Khan [Karim Khan] in the last couple of years is when he brought an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin and his children's commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, in March 2023. At that stage, there were arrest warrants. We're not at this stage; he's gone public saying there should be arrest warrants and he needs to go to the judges. Last time, he had already gone to the judges and it was made public that the judges had approved the recommendation. I can't tell you the reason why, but perhaps he's trying to force an end to the violence by speaking out as early as possible and trying to force efforts for a ceasefire. That seems to be a possibility - why he's decided to act this way.” 2 hours ago
  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “It's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I am working on a deal to end the fighting and build a lasting and durable peace. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.” 23 hours ago

“President Moon benefited a lot from the COVDI-19 response, but now the pandemic is getting worse. And the bigger problem is that with the worsening of the pandemic, the economy and people's livelihoods will inevitably face more hardships. So far, Moon's strongest pillar has been his fine response to the pandemic. But the people's trust in the COVID-19 response is shaking, so it is now emerging as an important negative factor in his support rating.”

“So far, we have done our best, both the people and the medical community, and we have been proud of the world's assessment of being a model quarantine country. If we're truly a model quarantine country, now is the time to prove it.”

“The decision-makers ought to be held accountable for failing to impose measures in time to counter the climb that began in mid-October. Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun told an Oct. 11 government meeting that Korea would move to the least restrictive tier of social distancing, citing fatigue among the public and damage to the economy. This move came when the case numbers and other metrics did not warrant relaxing restrictions. Hospitals that withstood the pandemic at the forefront of the battle are being poorly compensated and are financially struggling. Repeated calls for augmenting critical care capacity went unaddressed. Now the government is asking hospitals to free up more beds to accommodate COVID-19 patients. But beds can’t be emptied just like that when there is still demand for non-COVID-19 medical care.”

“Only about 15 beds are immediately available in the greater Seoul area for patients in critical condition as there were numerous patients who were in a serious condition and needed to be hospitalised. But we should have a little more room shortly because more people are being released.”

“The fear of unemployment is spreading beyond small businesses, irregular workers and day laborers to employees of large companies. It is an ‘economic wartime. With innovative venture companies and startups as the main driving forces, Korea will be raised to a ‘digital powerhouse’ that leads the world.”
