  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “But while Israel has shown willingness, Hamas remains entrenched in its extreme positions, first among them the demand to remove all our forces from the Gaza Strip, end the war, and leave Hamas in power. Israel cannot accept that.” 5 hours ago
  • Bernard Smith
    Bernard Smith “I know my colleagues who were working out of occupied East Jerusalem have now stopped working out of there, and both Arabic and English channels have stopped broadcasting from there. The reason that those of us here in Ramallah and Gaza are still operating is because this is the occupied Palestinian territories. The Cabinet decision applies in Israel and Israel's domestic territory. To close Al Jazeera's operations in this part of the occupied West Bank, a military order from the governor would be required. That hasn't come yet. The network might be looking at some legal appeal, but it's a 45-day closure for now. It could be extended again, but it gives the Israeli authorities the right to seize Al Jazeera's broadcasting equipment and cut the channel from cable and satellite broadcasters. We know that's already happened in the last couple of hours in Israel; any operators that have been broadcasting Al Jazeera English or Arabic now have a sign on their screens saying they're no longer allowed to transmit and receive Al Jazeera.” 6 hours ago
  • Omar Shakir
    Omar Shakir “Their [Al Jazeera] offices have been bombed in Gaza. Their staff have been beaten in the West Bank. They've been killed in the West Bank and Gaza. Rather than trying to silence reporting on its atrocities in Gaza, Israel should stop committing them.” 6 hours ago

Russia invasion of Ukraine and parallels with China invasion of Taiwan

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Russia invasion of Ukraine and parallels with China invasion of Taiwan.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“One of the assessments is that Putin acted very impulsively because of his imperial ambitions, and he has his own worldview. Xi, I think, he's much more pragmatic. He's very cautious. I don't think he's hot-headed enough and he's not a risk taker, and an invasion against Taiwan is one of the biggest acts that he would do. It's a very high-wire act and the chances of success are not clear.”

“Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shown again these regimes will stop at nothing in the pursuit of expansionist goals. As we watch images from half a world away of atrocities committed against another democracy on the frontlines of authoritarian expansionism, I would like to stress that, like Ukraine, Taiwan will not bend to pressure.”

“I think the Chinese leadership is looking very carefully at all this - at the costs and consequences of any effort to use force to gain control over Taiwan. I don't for a minute think that this has eroded Xi's [Xi Jinping] determination over time to gain control over Taiwan. But I think it's something that's affecting their calculation about how and when they go about doing that.”

“[Can the world come together against China if they invade Taiwan?] Yeah, I think so. While you're sort of looking at the difference between China and Russia, I'd suggest you look at the difference economically between Taiwan and Ukraine. Taiwan makes 94 percent of all the high-end semiconductors. The West cannot tolerate China seizing control of Taiwan. So absolutely we are going to push back. Everyone is going to unite and probably even more so than with Ukraine. What we've got to do is make the consequence of China attacking Taiwan so great that they choose not to do so. That's real deterrence.”

“Collaboration among countries sharing universal values becomes ever more vital. We must collaborate with our allies and like-minded countries, and never tolerate a unilateral attempt to change the status quo by the use of force in the Indo-Pacific [region], especially in East Asia. Ukraine may be East Asia tomorrow. Peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is critical not only for Japan's security, but also for the stability of international society. Japan maintains its position to expect a peaceful resolution through dialogue to issues surrounding Taiwan, and the situation will be watched carefully from that perspective.”

“Many Chinese experts are monitoring this war as if they are imagining how this would unfold if it happened between China and the West. China probably should think about conducting a much stronger and much more comprehensive operation at the very beginning to shock and awe the Taiwanese forces to secure a major advantage. They believe securing that advantage would deter enemy forces from being willing to intervene.”

“While the partnership between Russia and China has strengthened since 2019, [Chinese] President Xi Jinping and the Chinese leadership are a little bit unsettled by what they're seeing in Ukraine. China did not anticipate the difficulties that the Russians were going to run into in Ukraine, and is concerned by the reputational damage coming from its close association with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Beijing is also worried about the conflict's effects on the global economy, coming at a time when China's annual growth has slowed, as well as the way it has driven Europeans and Americans closer together. Despite these concerns, I would not underestimate President Xi and the Chinese leadership's determination with regard to Taiwan, although the conflict might change the Chinese calculus on the issue.”

“If Putin succeeds, and endures the sanctions and can tolerate the Ukrainian people's uprising, and enjoys a resurgence of pride and glory across Mother Russia, [Chinese President Xi Jinping] may want to copy that playbook for Taiwan. And sooner rather than later.”
