  • 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.” 16 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.” 22 hours ago

“[Iran thinks] the minute the Iranians step in, that larger war would be a reality because the US would also then step in at that point. This is part of the reason why they're not going in that direction. The new government of President Masoud Pezeshkian is prioritising a policy of national reconciliation in the country. They recognise clearly the tremendous anger that exists in society against the government for its many failures and for its repression. A war at this moment is not something that in any way, shape or form will move that reconciliation in the right direction.”
