  • Tania Hary
    Tania Hary “I'm most concerned by how the plan seems to say that if the population is given a chance to evacuate and they don't, then somehow they all turn into legitimate military targets, which is absolutely not the case.” 12 minutes ago
  • Giora Eiland
    Giora Eiland “The only way to stop Hamas and bring an end to the yearlong war is to prevent its access to aid. They will either have to surrender or to starve. It doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to kill every person. It will not be necessary. People will not be able to live there (the north). The water will dry up.” 17 minutes ago
  • Danny Danon
    Danny Danon “The UN's insistence on keeping the UNIFIL soldiers in the line of fire is incomprehensible.” 27 minutes ago
  • 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].” 2 hours 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.” 2 hours 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.” 19 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.” 19 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

“The main goal of the Israeli regime is to pressure the Yemeni people. Hodeidah port is one of the most important economic hubs for Yemen, and targeting it implies that Israel wants to close it. Targeting those power stations will primarily affect civilians, as Israel knows it cannot effectively target military installations or stop Yemen from retaliating. Saudi Arabia, for instance, has conducted over 250,000 airstrikes and hasn't been able to stop the Yemeni Army. Similarly, hundreds of attacks by the U.S. and the UK in recent months haven't succeeded either. That's why I believe Israel will continue targeting civilian infrastructure, which impacts all Yemenis.”
