  • Jason Straziuso
    Jason Straziuso “The food and water and medical supplies situation is critical and if this continues, then we move towards catastrophic, or even more catastrophic, consequences from the situation that we now see. International Committee of the Red Cross is constantly asking Israeli officials to allow access to humanitarian goods following the shutdown of the crossings. The Israeli officials know that we are desperate to bring in more supply trucks which we have waiting to cross the border as soon as they're able to. There's conversations also taking place about the need to spare civilian lives - no targeting of civilians, no targeting of civilian objects, meaning buildings, schools, medical facilities. Those talks have been happening for months.” 19 minutes ago
  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “Something incredibly important is happening in the world today. Israel is getting a beating around the world, while Palestine is getting a beating in the Middle East. Palestine the cause - whether it's at the United Nations or Western capitals or university campuses - is certainly gaining ground.” 23 minutes ago
  • Itamar Yaar
    Itamar Yaar “The American move to pause big bomb transfers is largely symbolic. But it's a sign of trouble and could become more of a problem if it is sustained. It's not some kind of American embargo on American munitions support, but I think it's some kind of diplomatic message to Mr Netanyahu that he needs to take into consideration American interests more than he has over the last few months. It's kind of a signal, a 'be careful'.” 17 hours ago
  • Vitalii Barabash
    Vitalii Barabash “Around 700 people stayed in Avdiivka. The situation is not easy; regular checks are ongoing. The excitement of the majority of those who remained and waited for the Russians has long faded. Even those who didn't care admit now that it was far better under Ukraine's control. Because there is no evidence of democracy or that it was 'liberators' that came to them.” 19 hours ago
  • Alan Boswell
    Alan Boswell “The Sudanese have basically been forgotten, obviously there's the war in Gaza which has taken a lot of attention. Frankly it would take very high-level political focus on trying to pressure those who are arming the various sides and have the actual belligerence themselves to stop this. Obviously, the United Nations tools are not very functional.” 21 hours ago

“I don’t believe that this will turn into a copy of the 'name' dispute with Greece because the EU as well as us have all drawn some experience from that – but I also don’t believe in a quick solution because Bulgaria shows no flexibility and it has gone too far with its demands. I believe a solution will have to be found over a mid-term period, and even if we manage to unlock the start of the EU accession talks, the issues with Bulgaria will have to be resolved in parallel with the talks over the next years.”
