  • 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.” 13 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.” 16 hours ago
  • Najib Mikati
    Najib Mikati “Lebanon is going through an unprecedented historical and existential crisis that threatens its present and future.” 16 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.” 16 hours ago

“Regarding Iran, we struck its soft underbelly … The haughty words of the Iranian regime's leaders cannot cover up the fact that in Iran today, Israel has greater freedom of action than ever before. We can go anywhere that we need to in Iran. The supreme objective that I have set for the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] and the security services is to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons … We have not taken - and we will not take - our eyes off this objective. Obviously, I cannot detail our plans to achieve this supreme goal.”

“The Russia-North Korea partnership runs contrary to Beijing's goal for a peaceful Korean Peninsula. Beijing is aware of the complexity and danger of the situation. The fact that China hasn't said anything yet on the military alliance agreement between North Korea and Russia indicates that China strongly disagrees with it.”

“Challenging stereotypes and inspiring a new generation of women leaders would be important accomplishments of a Harris presidency. But her administration could do even more. She could also use her experience and the insights afforded by her identity to advance peace and prosperity at a turbulent time, adopting an approach to global affairs that expands alliances, embraces global governance reform to bring in new voices and ideas, and harnesses the undertapped potential of half the planet. From reproductive health to economic participation to gender-based violence, matters identified as women's issues are too often granted less attention and less funding than they deserve. Making them integral parts of policy can go a long way toward addressing many of the economic, political, and social problems that ail the United States and countries across the world.”

“No one has been spared not just among the Palestinians and the Lebanese even in the United Nations and it's because of that on top of the genocide and on top of the 57 years of unlawful occupation that I say it's time to consider suspending the credential of Israel as a member State, I understand the sensitivity because none of you is really has really clean hands when it comes to Human Rights that's okay but no one has maintained an unlawful occupation violating decades of UN Security Council, General Assembly, Human Rights Council, International Court of Justice, decision and resolutions as Israel has done enough, enough.”

“The potentially looming U.S.-Saudi security pact has been forged, then, out of American recognition of the energy and positional power of Saudi Arabia-a power that makes it a pivotal state in the emerging 'multinodal' order of shifting alliances and great-power competition. It also comes as Saudi Arabia plots its transition to a post-hydrocarbon energy future, and as the U.S. looks to establish an advantage in the emerging green energy economy. One can think of this new security agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, which would be broad, binding­­ and in fact extend far beyond security concerns, as an update of U.S.-Saudi relations within this evolving geopolitical order. In other words, it is a Carter Doctrine for the new energy era.”

“North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un may have several reasons to test-launch an ICBM [Intercontinental Ballistic Missile] at this time. This test contributes to Kim Jong Un's goals of improving the credibility of his nuclear deterrent. He just visited an ICBM base and called for progress, so this test should be seen primarily through those lenses. Analysts will be tempted to read this in the context of the upcoming US election, but I wouldn't be so hasty. Kim Jong Un remains focused on his nuclear modernisation and the timing of this test should not be over-interpreted in terms of external dynamics.”

“We're going to see more of these flash floods in the future. This has the fingerprints of climate change on it, these terribly heavy rainfalls, and these devastating floods. Even early warnings of heavy rain based on reliable forecasts did little to prevent the fatalities and people needed to understand the real danger. Just telling people that it's going to rain quite a lot, it's not good enough...We could see that people were putting themselves at risk driving in floodwaters, and there was just so much water that it has overwhelmed these places.”

“In the worst affected areas more than 400 litres of rain per square metre fell on Tuesday. A relatively strong storm, a powerful downpour, like those we see falling in spring or summer, can be 40 or 50 litres per square metre. This practically multiplies it by 10.”

“More and more we hear in Washington and Europe that Kyiv is unreasonable to expect to regain 100 percent of its territory, and the Ukrainians are beginning to get their heads around it. There is a world where they concede Russian occupation for some time. But there would need to be demilitarization of the front line and then Ukrainians want super security guarantees to avoid a Russian resurgence of the war in five years.”

“He [Zelensky] has to go cap in hand to push the plan, sort of carve out a position and then say at home, having asked, that this is now what we have to do. At least he can say he's tried. He's exhausted the possibilities.”

“The situation on the front lines is clear and obvious; everyone in our country can see it, and Western nations are also noting how events are unfolding. Current trends are making the Kiev regime quite anxious. This anxiety is why Vladimir Zelensky has called on the United States to supply Kiev with Tomahawk long-range missiles. Zelensky's push to legitimize Western involvement in military operations is another factor at play. Evidently, all the 'peace plans' and 'victory plans'-whether classified or not-are essentially attempts by Kiev to draw Western countries deeper into the conflict and legitimize that involvement. This is the ultimate goal of these maneuvers, and that is how we perceive it.”

“North Korea's launch appears to have several strategic aims, including flaunting its deepening ties with Russia and its presence ahead of the U.S. elections, as well as diverting international criticism over its troop deployment. Given that an ICBM targets the U.S., (the North) has boasted its proven capability to retaliate in the event its safety is threatened.”

“The most important element of an agreement to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon is not the piece of paper it's written on, but Israel's determination and ability to enforce the agreement and to foil any threat to its security from Lebanon, in a manner that will return residents to their homes safely.”
