“Trump may not cancel outgoing President Joe Biden's permission to use high-precision US-supplied missiles for strikes inside Russia if he profits from something. It can be a reputational profit, a political profit or an economic profit. It can even be a profit [achieved] through humiliating Putin. Any profit will suit him.”

“We will do it [issue notifications before using Oreshnik missile] due to humanitarian concerns - openly, publicly, without any concerns about any countermeasures from the enemy, who will also receive this information. Why without any concerns? Because there are currently no countermeasures for this weapon at this moment.”

“The International Criminal Court's long overdue decision to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity signals that the days of the Israeli apartheid government operating with impunity are ending. Since this genocide began, the United States has provided more than $18bn in weapons to the Israeli government. The Biden Administration can no longer deny that those same US weapons have been used in countless war crimes. Washington must immediately halt all arms transfers to the Israeli apartheid regime. Today's historic arrest warrants cannot bring back the dead and displaced, but they are a major step towards holding war criminals accountable.”

“The arrest warrants are binding on all parties to the I.C.C. If they set foot on the territory of a state party, that state party has an obligation to arrest and transfer to The Hague. That's pretty binding.”

“The ICC has no credibility and these allegations have been refuted by the US government. Israel has lawfully defended its people [and] borders from genocidal terrorists. You can expect a strong response to the antisemitic bias of the ICC [and] UN come January.”

“If the British Army was asked to fight tonight, it would fight tonight. I don't think anybody in this room should be under any illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, then we would meet them in that fight.”

“Judges, lawyers and staff at the court are highly professional and come from a multitude of countries. So the accusation that the court would be biased against any particular group of people is fairly ridiculous. But it's nothing new for this court. When the court took action against the leadership of Kenya several years ago, it was accused of neocolonialism and anti-African bias. When it brought charges against President Vladimir Putin of Russia, the response was that the ICC must be anti-Russian. Now we're hearing baseless charges of anti-Semitism that are just thrown at the wall to try to smear and deflect from these very specific charges that have gone through a rigorous process. There is no doubt ICC officials will now be targeted after open threats by US senators and others.”

“The U.S. decision to grant Kyiv greater strike capabilities came long after it would have had the maximum impact and is really not something about which Russia is going to be genuinely, legitimately concerned. Moscow will still indulge in the performative theatrics to do with the nuclear doctrine, getting enormous value out of the changes. They are milking this for all it is worth, because they get a very gratifying reaction abroad. At the moment there is no incentive for either Russia or Ukraine to enter negotiations. Ukraine knows that this is likely to be far more disastrous for them than fighting on, and Russia knows that it can extract far more from Ukraine than if they freeze the conflict at the present moment.”

“I think, rather, Biden has suddenly displayed [a] big appetite for risk-taking after 2.5 years of being risk-averse. Now Putin may feel forced to react or Trump will take him to the cleaners.”

“The current situation offers Putin a significant temptation to escalate [Russia's potential to use nukes]. With Trump not yet in office, such a move would not interfere with any immediate peace initiatives but could instead reinforce Trump's argument for direct dialogue with Putin.”

“The signatories of the Rome Statute and members of the ICC are bound to arrest Gallant and Netanyahu if they travel to their country. But I think that by issuing the arrest warrants, the ICC has also made a certain demand on Western countries both in North America and throughout Europe. And that has to do with the kind of trade agreements that they have with Israel - first and foremost with the trade relating to arms. If the leaders of Israel are charged with carrying out crimes against humanity by the ICC, it means that the weapons the European countries are sending to Israel are used to carry out crimes against humanity and they have to reassess all their trade of weapons with Israel from today and, I would say, stop sending these weapons.”
