  • Lauren Easton
    Lauren Easton “The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment. The shutdown was not based on the content of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country's new foreign broadcaster law. We urge the Israeli authorities to return our equipment and enable us to reinstate our live feed immediately so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.” 2 hours ago
  • Itamar Ben-Gvir
    Itamar Ben-Gvir “Israel should be the one that controls the Gaza Strip, unequivocally, and no one else. Most important is encouraging voluntary emigration of Palestinians from the enclave. Israel could then facilitate the return of settlements. I would love to live in Gaza if possible.” 2 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “An attempt to show that the prime minister of Israel and the leaders of terrorist organisations are the same, and the involvement of international institutions in this, is unacceptable.” 2 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “They [the Russian side] are always blocking everything, they will undermine the process, and they won't rest until they present us with their own plan for ending the war, which will inevitably be an ultimatum, as we have seen on many previous occasions. We can't hand the initiative over to them [...] Our agenda can't be dictated by Russia. This is a war against us, so there is justice in this. The goal of the summit is to come up, between Ukraine and its allies, with a joint stance on three key questions - and then to inform Russia of their position. If all countries support these three points, as I said, then a detailed step-by-step plan will be developed and presented to Russian representatives across different platforms that different countries have [...] Then Russia will have to contend with most of the world.” 2 hours ago
  • John Holman
    John Holman “Few question his ongoing legitimacy and he [Zelenskyy] remains popular. Although lower than before, his approval rating's still above 60 percent. Many Ukrainians also feel an election would be unrealistic and disrupt the war effort. In a poll this March [2024], 78 percent of those asked said they were against elections before the end of the war. But in addition to that there's also the practical difficulties. Some Ukrainian towns are in ruins. Many power plants have been hit so there's rolling blackouts. And perhaps most importantly, there's 8 million people displaced, 5 million outside the country.” 3 hours ago

“This is the latest evidence that unlawful pushbacks and violence against asylum-seekers and migrants are commonplace at the EU's external borders. In numerous countries … people in search of safety and protection are being met with barbed wire and armed border guards. The EU's migration policy had for years now prioritised border security over the rights of people and its fundamental values.”

“The situation in Una Sana canton is unacceptable. Winter-proof accommodation is a pre-requisite for humane living conditions, which need to be ensured at all times. Local authorities need to make existing facilities available and provide a temporary solution until Lipa camp is rebuilt into a permanent facility. We urge the authorities not to leave people out in the cold, without access to sanitary facilities in the midst of a global pandemic.”

“I received the @DRC_ngo [Danish Refugee Council] report presented as evidence of push-backs and inhuman and degrading treatment of people at the Croatian border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am taking these reports very seriously. I am planning a thorough discussion with the Croatian authorities on these and other reports of fundamental rights violations. I will also discuss further development of the monitoring mechanism that the Croatian authorities put in place with the Commission’s financial support. Croatian authorities have committed to investigate reports of mistreatment at their external borders, monitor this situation closely and keep the Commission informed on progress made. Today I am meeting with ministers from the Western Balkans to discuss cooperation on migration management in light of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. I reminded that effective border management must be conducted in full respect of fundamental rights.”

“This is only one of many examples of how this violence is tacitly encouraged by the European Union, which has supplied the Croatian state with hundreds of millions of euros of technological equipment to secure the EU’s external border in the last decade.”

“We need to see action to put a stop to the systematic use of violence. Treating human beings like this, inflicting severe pain and causing unnecessary suffering, irrespective of their migratory status, cannot and should not be accepted by any European country, or by any EU institution. There is an urgent need to ensure that independent border monitoring mechanisms are in place to prevent these abuses, and to ensure that all reports of abuse are transparently and credibly investigated – and those responsible are held to account.”

“Disturbingly, these reports suggest that violence and dehumanising acts accompanying pushbacks are increasing, and it seems that Croatian law enforcement officers continue to enjoy impunity for such serious human rights violations.”

“European values? What European values?? The blood of these people, so horrifically mistreated on the Croatian border, is on the hands of [the European Commission]. When are people going to be held to account for the sickening crimes against migrants happening daily in Croatia?”

“Migrants passing through the territory of Republika Srpska will be transported to the final destination (on the boundary line with the USC) and will be shown the way out from there. By recording citizens’ reports to the police, we know where they are and which routes they are taking. Migrants cannot move freely through the territory of Republika Srpska, commit possible crimes and put pressure on the population. I feel for the people of Una-Sana Canton, but we will not stop the practice of gathering migrants and transporting them wherever they want outside Republika Srpska; there will be no collective centres here.”

“The situation is getting worse every day. More and more people sleep outside with no food, no water, no electricity and, of course, they also become a bigger problem for the local population, because they need to go for water or to wash clothes or to take a bath in Una river and creeks, there is a lot of garbage around and unfortunately some people also enter houses and steal. This creates tension with the local population and is harder and harder every day.”

“The situation has never been worse. We have an uncontrolled daily influx of migrants and several thousand people in the streets, public spaces and abandoned buildings. We have been left on our own again. We are ready for radical moves. The migrants must be removed from the city streets and we are absolutely not interested in anything else.”

“I believe that BiH will be greatly assisted by Austria in finding the best possible solution in terms of expert advice, as well as in other types of assistance. The entire migration policy is credible only when the return of illegal migrants to their countries of origin is practically carried out – whether it is a voluntary or forced return. Austria is not only one of the most active EU members in this regard, but more than that it has recognised that a clear operational focus to the topic of returns of illegal migrants is fundamental. Therefore, during the last years, it has purposefully built a unique system, with clearly defined tasks and goals, that has produced more than impressive results with more than 60,000 returns since 2014.”

“It is obvious that one of the intended effects of this behaviour is to humiliate refugees and migrants attempting to cross the border. As far as I see it, this is the result of either one of two motivations. Either the Croatian authorities committing these acts are using spray paint to identify and humiliate repeat border crossers or, more worryingly, they are using this as a tactic to psychologically traumatise these men – the majority of whom are Muslim – with a religious symbol.”
