  • Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan “Israel's goal is to settle in Gaza, eliminate the Palestinian community in the West Bank and ultimately annex this territory. This is where Israel wants to go. We must prevent this. Whereas only a tiny handful of Western countries are supporting Israel militarily, politically, economically, and morally, the inadequate reaction from Muslim countries has led to this situation. It is crucial that we continue coordinating our initiatives and take decisive measures against those who are behind the genocide in Palestine. It is paramount that we impose an arms embargo, stop trade and isolate Israel.” 3 hours ago
  • Shigeru Ishiba
    Shigeru Ishiba “We must remind ourselves of the basics that politics is for the people, as we tackle political and party reforms. We must be able to have empathy for the pain, sorrow and anger of the people. While we stick to the LDP-Komei partnership as the foundation, we will do our utmost to gain understanding of as many other parties as possible as we humbly work to ensure safety and security of the people.” 6 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Syrskyi
    Oleksandr Syrskyi “Following the orders of their military leadership, they are trying to displace our troops and advance deep into the territory we control. Were it not for the resilience of our soldiers, these tens of thousands of enemies from the best Russian units would have stormed our positions.” 8 hours ago
  • Israel Katz
    Israel Katz “Iran is more vulnerable than ever to targeting its nuclear facilities. There is [now] a possibility of removing the threat. The primary goal is achievable - to thwart and eliminate the threat of Israel's annihilation.” 11 hours ago
  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “The war in Lebanon is becoming more costly to Israel, which may be looking to draw the conflict to a close by obtaining security guarantees in southern Lebanon. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said earlier that there had been certain progress” in talks about a ceasefire in Lebanon, but Hezbollah said it hadn't received any peace proposal yet. What they mean is that in the talks with the United States and others, perhaps the Lebanese government, there were some steps forward but nothing that can yet be presented to Hezbollah. In the process of dividing and occupying the Gaza Strip, the big prize for Israel is not Gaza. It's the West Bank. The appointment of Yechiel Leiter, who lives in the Gush Etzion settlement, as the next Israeli ambassador to the US signals the Netanyahu government intends to work with President-elect Donald Trump to expand Israeli settlements. Netanyahu is dreaming of the West Bank, and he could even barter some sort of agreement in Gaza in exchange.” 11 hours ago
  • James Stavridis
    James Stavridis “If Trump can end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours, I'll be the first one voting for his Nobel Peace Prize. What I hope he does, and I think he will, is put pressure on both sides to get to the negotiating table, and it comes out kind of like the end of the Korean War, which is to say, Putin, unfortunately, but in a real world, will end up with about 20 percent of Ukraine, the chunk that he currently holds, but the rest of Ukraine, the 80 percent, all those resources, vast majority of the population, they stay democratic, free. Ukraine will also get a path to NATO, probably three to five years, realistically. It's not the worst outcome in the world. Keep in mind that a negotiated settlement is not something the U.S. can impose-but for the Ukrainians and Russians to agree upon. Negotiating a ceasefire and eventual settlement will take months. Ukraine's entry into NATO could be accomplished over a couple years.” 13 hours ago
  • Bezalel Smotrich
    Bezalel Smotrich “The only way to remove this danger from the agenda is to apply Israeli sovereignty over the settlements in Judea and Samaria. I have directed the start of professional work to prepare the necessary infrastructure to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria [the West Bank].” 13 hours ago
  • Tohid Asadi
    Tohid Asadi “In a rare visit to Tehran, this high-ranking Saudi Arabian delegate, headed by the chief of staff, met with his Iranian counterpart here in the capital. The discussions, as expected, revolved around military and defense issues, and specifically, they talked about the expansion of cooperation in this particular arena. They also discussed a drill-a military naval drill between the two countries. Around three weeks ago, Iranian Naval Commander Shahram Irani said that there is a possibility of such a military drill between Saudi Arabia and Iran, two regional powerhouses with a history of rivalry, so it could be considered a step forward in the ties between the two. Added to that is the discussion they had regarding regional issues, in particular the Palestinian issue, which was a key point of concern for both sides; they had a conversation on that as well. This visit takes place after the election of Trump in the United States, who promised peace in West Asia. However, the possibility of tensions ramping up to the next level is still here, so the two sides-I mean Iran and Saudi Arabia-are indeed trying to make sure that everything is on the right track. They are trying to build a sort of confidence when it comes to collective action against collective threats. All in all, I think Iran, in this regard, tries to send two clear messages. The first message relates to the urgency of this collective action against Israeli aggressive behaviors; this has been emphasized by Iranian officials several times. The second message that Iranians are trying to send is that if their land - if Iranian sovereignty - is attacked by aerospace or land of any third country, there would be a possibility of further escalation and a full-fledged, all-out war scenario.” 14 hours ago
  • Catherine Fieschi
    Catherine Fieschi “There's going to be some pain before that pain galvanises [the continent] into further European unity. It's not going to be an instant wake-up call. In January as we know, it's going to be a swift and brutal transition of [US] power. We're going to see a dip, some panic, some chaos, some uncertainty. In the end, given the brutality of what's coming from the Trump White House, we're going to see more cohesion in Europe than what we've seen for the past years. I think we're finally maybe going to see the Zeitenwende [epochal change] that's been promised for years actually taking shape.” 16 hours ago
  • Anna Wieslander
    Anna Wieslander “Trump has been very clear that Europeans need to ramp up their defence spending even further. He wants a three percent of GDP pledge and we can expect him to push this hard. Europeans have long recognised the need to step up on security and defence, but this realisation has not been matched by resources or true political will. The systemic threat that Russia poses to European security makes this shift extremely urgent if American engagement decreases. The first thing Europe needs to do now is to take the lead in supporting Ukraine towards victory against Russia. Europe will also be up against opposition to autonomy from Trump. He does not want the European defence market to become autonomous, which is a prerequisite for European strategic autonomy. Rather, we saw during the previous Trump administration that he pushed Europeans to buy more American defence material. Neither has he expressed any wish for the Europeans to develop their own nuclear deterrence, another necessary condition for European strategic autonomy.” 16 hours ago
  • Anna Jacobs
    Anna Jacobs “Donald Trump's election last week for a second term in the White House is likely to be on leaders' minds in Riyadh. This summit is very much an opportunity for regional leaders to signal to the incoming Trump administration what they want in terms of US engagement. The message will likely be one of dialogue, de-escalation and calling out Israeli military campaigns in the region.” 17 hours ago
  • Najib Mikati
    Najib Mikati “Lebanon is going through an unprecedented historical and existential crisis that threatens its present and future.” 17 hours ago
  • Ahmed Aboul Gheit
    Ahmed Aboul Gheit “Words cannot express the plight of the Palestinian people. The actions taken by Israel against the Palestinian people are undermining efforts to achieve lasting peace. It is only with justice that we will be able to establish lasting peace. The world cannot turn a blind eye on the Israeli violence.” 17 hours ago

“The integrity of the electoral process is a serious problem. Frelimo's decision to pick the relatively inexperienced Chapo [Daniel Chapo] as its candidate could be a strategy to influence his choice of appointees to key government positions.”

“The credibility of the election was expected to come under scrutiny. Frelimo was accused of ballot-stuffing and falsifying results in previous votes, including last year's local elections. Those elections were manipulated by Frelimo and that more of the same was expected this time. In Mozambique, the person who is declared the winner is not always the winner at the polls.”

“The United States is concerned by the situation in northern Gaza, including the announcement by Israel of a new evacuation order for several communities. We are particularly concerned that Palestinian civilians have nowhere safe to go. Already, there are devastating reports of the squalid conditions in the humanitarian zone in southern and central Gaza, where more than 1.5 million displaced civilians have fled. These catastrophic conditions were predicted months ago, and yet, have still not been addressed. That must change, and now. We call on Israel to take urgent steps to do so, and I reiterate the United States' expectation that Palestinian civilians, including those evacuated from the north be permitted to return to their communities and rebuild. We are also concerned by recent actions by the Israeli government to limit the delivery of goods into Gaza. When combined with new bureaucratic limits placed on humanitarian goods arriving from Jordan, and the closure of most border crossings in recent weeks, these restrictions would only have the effect of intensifying suffering in Gaza.”

“In the past year and a half we've seen a level of warmth in much of the Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico, that scientists are having a hard time fully explaining. What really matters for hurricanes is the temperature right at the surface. That's where the storm is interacting with the ocean. That's where the air and the ocean are mixing. In a really violent storm, the surface is sort of becoming almost a fine mist. What happens down below is also important, though, as well, because when you have these powerful winds mixing up the water, usually that can cool the water down at the surface - because the water down below is cooler, it gets mixed up to the top. But if you have a lot of heat in the ocean, not just at the surface but below as well, then you get less of this cooling in the wake of a hurricane. Rapid intensification is when a hurricane gains a lot of strength really quickly. What matters is just that you have conditions that are favorable to a hurricane gaining strength. So you have warm ocean water. You have winds in the air that are sort of conducive to allowing a hurricane to form without obstructions. When all those pieces come together, you can get a hurricane explode in strength like Milton did on Monday. Rapid intensification is something that's pretty difficult for hurricane forecasters to predict very well. One thing scientists do have some confidence in, although this is still an area of open research, is that rapid intensification is becoming more common. It matters just because it can really ramp up the threat to coastal communities in a really short amount of time.”

“I would say the amendment on unification was delayed for the next SPA [Supreme People's Assembly] to minimize internal confusion. The intention behind the announcement to cut off railways appears to be more about gathering justification for future steps, rather than immediately altering the constitution. The regime will take further steps to publicly show that it still upholds the 'two-Koreas' narrative.”

“That mosque [destroyed by a controlled explosion] was over 300 years old. This is the main mosque where daily prayers are held, and where religious holidays and occasions are celebrated. This is the land of our ancestors. We will not abandon it.”

“Humanitarian law is clear. Civilian objects, homes, cultural buildings are protected under the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Convention. Although Hezbollah may have used homes or civilian spaces, Israel must show that the sites pose an ongoing military threat. Hostilities are nowhere to be seen and instead we see Israeli forces doing controlled demolitions.”

“The conflict in Sudan has generated displacement at levels unseen since the war in Syria. It's now 10.9 million internally displaced persons in Sudan and an additional 2.2 million people having crossed the border into the neighboring countries.”

“Major disruption of regional oil and gas exports is likely to have a material impact on the global economy. If Israel carries out a major attack against Iran's oil or gas facilities, Tehran could resort to placing pressure on important transit chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. Any Iranian retaliation against a possible Israeli attack that affects global energy prices or trade would be viewed as an act of aggression and lead to further pressure on Iran. Western consumers [in case of a major disruption to the flow of oil and gas from the Middle East] will feel the price hike at the pump. [But] it will be much less than it might have been in a previous era. A major disruption to the flow of oil and gas from the Middle East would have an outsized effect on the Chinese economy. Increased energy prices for China would filter through the supply chain to the manufactured goods the country exports to the United States, Europe, and elsewhere and potentially result in more inflation for consumers.”

“It is clear that there has been an invasion by a third country of a sovereign state such as Lebanon, and therefore, the international community cannot remain indifferent. We denounced (this situation) in Ukraine, we also denounce it in Gaza and now we are also denouncing the invasion of Lebanon.”

“Many people view displacement being used as a political tool by Israel to try and create divisions within the Lebanese society. And people are worried because they are not sure where they can go and how long they will have a place to stay. Many people see Netanyahu's threat as more rhetoric coming out of the Israeli government trying to sow discord. Many believe this has given the Lebanese an opportunity to unite despite all the differences.”
