  • Stephen J. Rapp
    Stephen J. Rapp “Any prosecution has to be a good process, otherwise it'll look like score-settling. And that can play a key role in reconciling a society and defusing efforts to settle scores, for instance, against the children of parents who committed these crimes.” 8 hours ago
  • Kaja Kallas
    Kaja Kallas “We will be looking at how to ease sanctions. But this must follow tangible progress in a political transition that reflects Syria in all its diversity.” 13 hours ago
  • Hossein Salami
    Hossein Salami “Iran's military is not as weak as some believed. We know that such judgments are the dreams of the enemy, not realities on the ground. Be careful, don't make any strategic mistakes or miscalculations.” 13 hours ago
  • Keith Kellog
    Keith Kellog “These pressures are not just kinetic, just not military force, but they must be economic and diplomatic as well. There are now opportunities to change Iran for the better. We must exploit the weakness we now see. The hope is there, so must too be the action.” 13 hours ago
  • Annalena Baerbock
    Annalena Baerbock “Sanctions against Assad's henchmen who committed serious crimes during the civil war must remain in place. Germany would provide another €50m for food, emergency shelter and medical care. Syrians now need a quick dividend from the transition of power.” 13 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Israel believes that it can get away with the assaults it is carrying out in the region. Many of the Israeli ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government perceive parts of Syria, Jordan and Lebanon as being parts of the 'greater Israel' that they were promised. They take advantage of each and every pretext, of each and every opportunity in order to expand that territory. It is something that they have their eye on, and they will continually expand, and take advantage of weaknesses around them.”

“The world should know that in case of the expansion of war, its harmful effects will not be limited only to the West Asia region. Insecurity and instability can spread to other regions, even far away.”

“Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf states are tacitly willing to tolerate or even support the war against Hezbollah because it provides them an advantage in their own regional contest for power with Iran. In Gaza there is a real perverse lack of incentive for either Hamas or the Israeli government to work out a cease-fire because extending the conflict helps each of them hold onto power. A diplomatic process that involved serious U.S. leverage could very quickly and very easily end the conflict as it stands now. But that diplomacy cannot currently resolve the underlying causes of the war. I don't think it's reasonable to expect diplomacy to come up with a long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Nor do I expect diplomacy to urgently come to a long-term resolution of the boundary disputes between Lebanon and Israel.”

“There are diplomatic solutions to this crisis, but they have to center on the de-occupation of Palestine, since that is the root cause of the conflict. The main obstacle to such an outcome is Washington's refusal to sincerely push Israel to end its occupation. If the United States fundamentally changes its approach, these diplomatic solutions will become politically viable.”
