  • 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.” 4 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.” 7 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.” 9 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.” 12 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.” 12 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.” 14 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].” 14 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.” 15 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.” 17 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.” 17 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.” 18 hours ago
  • Najib Mikati
    Najib Mikati “Lebanon is going through an unprecedented historical and existential crisis that threatens its present and future.” 18 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.” 18 hours ago

“I am pessimistic about Israel's future as a liberal democratic state. At the moment, Israel is in survival mode, responding to immediate threats with blatant disregard for international humanitarian law, notwithstanding its repeated assertions that it operates the 'most moral armed forces' in the world. Even during a relatively optimistic period, with the Israeli economy strong after the COVID pandemic and relations between Israel and some Arab states warming, Israel chose not to seek a political settlement to its conflict with Palestine and, by extension, help heal the rift with the UN. To the contrary, the brutal colonisation of the Occupied Territories continued unabated, with Netanyahu pledging to prevent the emergence of a Palestinian state. While there may be broad opposition to Netanyahu among Israelis, by and large Israelis tolerate, if not support, the occupation. Who are the members of the Knesset who have been elected on a platform to end the occupation? The only hope may be if Israel's allies work earnestly towards establishing a Palestinian state and use their leverage … to pressure Israel to alter its behaviour. Otherwise I fear the future will bring more deracination, more ethnic cleansing, more violence.”

“UNIFIL is in the way. They want them out of the way but this is not a legitimate or legal way to do it. Perhaps Israel should withdraw from the UN and no longer claim that it wants to resolve things through diplomacy. Diplomacy is frustrating, I get it. It doesn't always work, but that's why the UN was created, so that things are not resolved by military force.”

“The war has created one of the most acute crises in living memory with more than 14 million people forced to flee their homes, plunging Sudan into the world's largest displacement crisis. We've never in a generation seen these types of numbers.”

“Even though Israel's attack on Iran was expected, the extent of the strike and whether there will be more remains to be seen. I think it is too early to say that this is the attack. We might be seeing much more. Evidently, it's in the interest of Netanyahu to seek more, not just for the image, but because this is indeed a moment of opportunity for him, along the lines that the American administration is literally at its weakest today. The US has not shown any signs of strength over the past year, and it has followed exactly the script that Netanyahu has wanted it to follow. But this is the moment if really the intent was to drag the US into fighting Israel's war with Iran. This is the moment for it. So I would be really surprised if this [attack] is it.”

“TV crews arrived in Hasbaiyya and deemed it safer after Israel ordered an evacuation order for a town farther south from which they were reporting. That is why we consider it a direct targeting, aimed at getting the journalists out of the south. They want to prevent the journalists from covering and having a presence in the south of Lebanon.”

“Things have to be done internationally in a more aggressive way in order to stop the war. It's not only a Gaza or Lebanon catastrophe, we will end up with an Israeli catastrophe, too. To save the region, including Israel, the international community must be more decisive after the American election. Granting Palestine member-state status at the United Nations is a good first step towards stabilising the Middle East. But British and American coordination is the key to halt the escalating fighting. It's so urgent it has to be done in November and December.”

“It would be a great opportunity for us to get access to the Chinese, Russian and Indian market and the markets of other BRICS member countries. That would be just great. An opportunity like this presents itself just once, and it must be seized. For BRICS countries Serbia's membership in the EU would not be a problem, while the EU would object to Belgrade's closer ties with BRICS. But we are an independent country and we will behave in a way that will benefit Serbia and its people. On the other hand, we have spent decades trying to become part of the European Union. It would be quite irresponsible of us to suddenly say that this is no longer going to happen. Let's wait for the Europeans to say it. I am sure we will hear it.”

“The world can clearly see what Russia truly wants: for the war to continue. This is why a principled and strong response from global leaders is essential. The actual involvement of North Korea in combat operations must be met with tangible pressure on both Moscow and Pyongyang to uphold the UN Charter and to penalise this escalation, rather than with blind eyes and confused comments.”

“They [Western countries] find themselves in a difficult position, fighting a war that has already been lost. The situation is that Western countries do not want to stop the Russian-Ukrainian war, and so it is a valid question whether [Hungary] has room for maneuver. Reviving the Cold War is a bad idea, yet many are responding to the Russia-Ukraine war in this way and have effectively declared it in the economic sphere. We have managed to stay out of the war, and I think we can avoid bad economic policies based on faulty military logic. Hungary continues to buy Russian oil and gas as it has secured an exemption from some EU sanctions. If former President Donald Trump wins the November 5 US election, the party of war in America will be replaced by the party of peace. Former President Trump will return, and then we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, as we will no longer be alone; at least there will be two of us.”

“There was a question at a news conference today whether we were behind riots in some Western capitals. This is utter nonsense. It's the last thing we need. And we don't have the tools for that - to organize some marches, riots. Total nonsense.”
