  • Mahmoud Abbas
    Mahmoud Abbas “We stand ready to work with you [Donald Trump] to achieve peace during you tenure. This would be guided by the two-state solution on international legitimacy. This vision seeks the establishment of the State of Palestine and the State of Israel living side by side in peace and security.” 1 hour ago
  • Craig Kennedy
    Craig Kennedy “Moscow now faces a dilemma: the longer it puts off a ceasefire, the greater the risk that credit events - such as corporate and bank bailouts - uncontrollably arise and weaken Moscow's negotiating leverage.” 1 hour ago
  • Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan “As regards the issue of natural gas, Slovakia was disconnected from gas with termination of transit via Ukraine. We discussed this matter, we have the TurkStream gas pipeline. Let's make a step and discuss this topic at the level of energy ministers. The demand of Slovakia for natural gas should be satisfied. I suggested solving this issue through talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Mr. Putin. I hope we will be able to have communications, to start telephone diplomacy as early as this week.” 1 hour ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “The challenge after the fighting ends will be to provide Ukraine with guarantees against any return to war on its territory and guarantees for our own security.” 2 hours ago
  • Yara Hawari
    Yara Hawari “While the Gaza ceasefire is a positive step the danger to the occupied West Bank from an Israeli invasion continues to rise. It's brought about a huge amount of relief that the bombardment will stop, but I think crucially the ceasefire does not mean an end to the occupation neither in Gaza or the West Bank. So people are under no illusion that this means an end to Israeli control over their lives. I think people are pessimistic as to whether the ceasefire will actually hold because they know the Israeli regime is already trying to sabotage it. The situation in the occupied West Bank remains as precarious as ever. We saw a year of genocide in Gaza go unchecked so the big question is could they do the same in the West Bank? I'm afraid without accountability measures the answer is yes.” 6 hours ago
  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing. Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.” 6 hours ago
  • Ali Jarbawi
    Ali Jarbawi “Hamas's parades through Gaza on Sunday are more than a message to the international community that it is in control. They also reflect the reality on the ground. Hamas was there before the war and they're there now.” 16 hours ago
  • Ibrahim Madhoun
    Ibrahim Madhoun “The message is that Hamas is 'the day after' for the war. They're conveying that Hamas must be a part of any future arrangements, or at least, be coordinated with.” 16 hours ago

“We are holding very intense talks at an international level on gas supplies in 2025. There are many hurdles, such as political statements by the Ukrainian side, the pressure for suspension of supplies from the East to the West, proposals on gas deliveries that are much more expensive. Slovakia will rebuff pressure to only accept gas supplies from the West. We see no reasons to pay for gas more than required due to geopolitical reasons. I am confident that a solution can be found for [gas supplies] to several EU countries with gas transit via the territory of Slovakia and Ukraine maintained. In the coming days, including during the Christmas holidays, you may witness exceptionally intense negotiations at various levels and in different countries, starting as early as next week.”

“It is our strategic target to eliminate the YPG. Any members who are not Syrian should leave the country as soon as possible. The entire command level of YPG should leave the country too. The remaining ones should continue living as they lay down their weapons.”

“For the long term, the Anglo-Saxons have set themselves a specific political goal to comprehensively reformat the 'island identity.' This would make it possible to erode the principle of one China, declare Taiwan's independence under the Kosovo scenario and undermine the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. Next up would be to form an outpost in East Asia that would be formally dependent on the US. The plan is quite in line with Washington's aspirations to bring the Asia-Pacific region into NATO's orbit and pit states against each other. In order to achieve these goals, the tools that are employed include manipulative language separation, the cultivation of local nationalism and the promotion of pro-Western values and ideas that are alien to Chinese traditional national culture.”

“He [François Bayrou] is not someone who has been plucked from obscurity. He is one of the long-time, foundational Macron supporters who created this space for the centre, realising that dream back in 2017. This is very much going to be about trying to build some kind of government of compromise. France has gone without a government for over 100 days this year so far. This is really a moment when something needs to change. Bayrou will have to act fast to address France's towering debt and widening deficit. One of the things he can probably do is push for more taxation. That may be a way to win the left vote. He might revisit pensions but I just can't see it. It is such a titanic reform that Macron sees as having been achieved, and that's one of the reasons he hasn't gone to the left to look for a prime minister.”

“Before the Salvation Government you had many different factions that had their own courts of justice, prisons and social services. It [HTS] imposed itself on other factions and took out their governing responsibilities. It's an Islamic governance in a technocratic way. What they wanted to do is control how religion is understood and how it's implemented. Jolani was pragmatic in adapting to the requirements of the society he ruled over. Responding to the public's displeasure, he slowly phased out the strict application of Islamic law, turned a blind eye to gender mixing and smoking and allowed protests against him. A Sharia law-based morality unit was disbanded but women were encouraged to cover their hair. It was a successful project in practice because there was also some buy in from the population. It was stable, the economy was working better (than the rest of Syria) and even the type of authoritarianism was nothing compared to Assad's family. Syria's transition to democracy is going to be a lengthy and complicated process after six decades of dictatorship. It was a very new form of governance (in Idlib). You can't expect an armed group in war controlling a region that's very tiny to create a social democratic system… They had to be realistic on what's possible at war. Syria hasn't had democracy in five, six decades. You will not become democratic in one week.”

“You went from governing Idlib to governing an entire nation… I don't think the capabilities of the government we saw are enough for the task of governing the whole of Syria. Idlib was very safe under the SSG [Syrian Salvation Government]. The rebels placed no restrictions on travel and movement inside the HTS-controlled province. Syria as a whole was a difficult place to live in, but the (SSG) never interfered in your personal life. Products were available and no limitations were imposed on your clothing or how you lived your life.”

“Why were you spending billions of dollars of oil revenues that belong to the Iranian people on Assad until the very end if he wasn't even listening to you? At least on the topic of Syria, stop lying and be honest with the people.”

“Iran wants to move toward a direction that would eventually normalize its relations with Syria, but it's going to be very difficult. The first priority right now is to make sure Syria does not turn into a base against Iran and a launchpad to attack its interests in Iraq or Lebanon. The public reckoning that had erupted over Iran's conduct in Syria could not be contained, and any official sugarcoating would not soften the severe blow. Some families of fighters killed when Iran deployed forces to Syria to help keep Mr. al-Assad in power are now asking if their loved ones had died in vain.”

“Syria was a linchpin to Iran's regional plan, the encircling of Israel in a ring of fire. The axis of resistance was a three-legged stool of Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, and it no longer stands.”

“The Syria debate is happening at all levels of society, not just in the media and social media, but in daily interactions everywhere. People are asking: Why did we spend so much money there? What did we achieve? What is our justification now that it's all gone? While the shape of future Iranian and Syrian relations is now uncertain, a strategic partnership built over four decades is now clearly history. Gone, too, is the unfettered access to supply routes in Syria that Iran had long had to equip militants across the region with weapons and other material.”

“The challenges this incoming government is going to face are massive: building basic infrastructure, returning life to the areas where no life had existed for more than a decade. People here are celebrating, people here are with hope - but they're also asking the people who are in charge: Do not miss this opportunity to run Syria according to the aspirations of the Syrian people.”
