  • Najib Mikati
    Najib Mikati “Beirut condemns Netanyahu's position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL peacekeepers. The warning that Netanyahu addressed to … Guterres demanding the removal of the UNIFIL represents a new chapter in the enemy's approach of not complying with international [norms].” 1 hour ago
  • Yoav Gallant
    Yoav Gallant “These [Lebanese villages] are military targets containing underground tunnels and weapon storages. Our troops found hundreds of RPGs, munitions and anti-tank missiles here. The IDF is currently destroying these weapons above and under the ground. I have instructed the IDF at all levels to ensure the destruction of [attack infrastructure] and to ensure that terrorists cannot return to these places. This is essential in order to ensure the safety of Israel's northern communities.” 1 hour ago
  • Brian Hart
    Brian Hart “Under Xi Jinping, China has doubled down on efforts to assert its territorial claims in disputed areas along its periphery. Weaker states like Nepal face immense pressures because of the overwhelming power differential with China. If China does not face costs for encroaching on its weakest neighbors, Beijing will be further emboldened to threaten countries in the region.” 17 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “China should not use it [the speech of Taiwanese President William Lai] in any fashion as a pretext for provocative actions. On the contrary, we want to reinforce - and many other countries want to reinforce - the imperative of preserving the status quo, and neither party taking any actions that might undermine it. Fifty percent of commercial container traffic goes through the Taiwan Strait every day; more than 70 percent of the high-end semiconductors that the world needs are produced on Taiwan, so there's a strong interest around the world on maintaining peace and stability, preserving the status quo, avoiding any kind of conflict that could disrupt things that are so essential to the global economy.” 18 hours ago
  • Venancio Mondlane
    Venancio Mondlane “The regime will do everything to ensure that it does not lose the elections. The electoral bodies will probably release (initial) results… in which the Frelimo candidate will be in the lead. But this is clearly falsified, adulterated data.” 18 hours ago
  • Walid Aoun
    Walid Aoun “It is my personal opinion that the United States does not allow the (Lebanese) military to have advanced air defense equipment, and this matter is related to Israel.” 23 hours ago

“A tantalising question is why Nasrallah felt it necessary to meet other Hezbollah members in person. It was nearly a fortnight ago that Israel's war against Hezbollah stepped up with the explosions of sabotaged pagers and walkie-talkies used by the militant group that may have injured as many as 1,500 - low tech preferred by Nasrallah because he distrusted the way mobile phones could be tracked. With all electronic means distrusted, a face-to-face meeting may have been the only way to discuss Israel's escalation of the crisis with close colleagues.”
