IPSEs IN THE LAST 24h

Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 1 hour ago
Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 1 hour ago
Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 1 hour ago
Karine Jean-Pierre “Americans have the right to peacefully protest. Forcibly taking over a building is not peaceful.” 16 hours ago
Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 16 hours ago
Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 16 hours ago

“The current ban from Saudi Arabia has now directly hit around $250m worth of exports. That's huge for Lebanon. That's a lot for Lebanon. Look, to be very clear, on an industrial level this is a huge thing. We were starting to take advantage of the Saudi ban on Turkish products - they are very big competitors. Our target for 2022 was to move to $500m in exports to Saudi Arabia.”

“I call on the minister of information [George Kordahi] to listen to his conscience, take the position that should be taken and give priority to the national interests. We are determined to resolve our relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the brotherly Gulf countries.”

“Even the Lebanese government has tried to distance itself from the statements, saying it did not reflect Lebanese government's policy. But clearly, the Saudi government's decision's to recall its ambassador for consultation and demanding the Lebanese ambassador in Saudi Arabia to leave within 48 hours indicate that this is just not enough.”

“Irresponsible statements made by today's politicians like George Kordahi and Hezbollah leaders are sure to jeopardise the country's efforts to restoring relations [with the GCC]. It may threaten with retaliations against tens of thousands of Lebanese expats working in Gulf countries - George Kordahi was one of them when he used to run a TV show at [Saudi-owned] MBC. The Lebanese diaspora community provides the last remaining sources of remittance and economic support to tens of thousands of families in the country.”

“The decision by Saudi Arabia and the UAE [United Arab Emirates] to summon their ambassadors from Lebanon is a reminder that despite the broader atmosphere of de-escalation in the region, red lines have not changed. Both states view the Houthis as an arm of Iranian influence in Yemen, and are not willing to tolerate clear expressions of support for the group from the Lebanese state, nor are they unwilling to take action when they see Lebanon straying too far away from their sphere of influence.”
