Alon Liel “The move [Egypt joining South Africa's ICJ genocide case against Israel] is an unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel. Egypt is the cornerstone of our standing in the Middle East. The connections that Israel has in the Middle East and North Africa today, including with Jordan, the UAE and Morocco, is all a result of what Egypt did 40 years ago. With Egypt joining South Africa now in The Hague, it's a real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously. This is what I have been warning about. It's coming from several directions. Israel has to … listen to the world - not only to the Israeli public opinion asking now for revenge. We have to look overall in the wider picture, in the long-term security of Israel, not only in the next few weeks in Gaza.” 20 hours ago
Franz-Stefan Gady “The Russians have understood, just as a lot of analysts have, that the major disadvantage that Ukraine is currently suffering from is manpower. By thinning out the frontline, you are increasing the odds of a breakthrough.” 23 hours ago
Oleksandr Syrskyi “This week, the situation in Kharkiv Oblast deteriorated substantially. Currently, there are continuing battles along the state's border with Russia. The situation is challenging, but the Defence Forces are doing everything possible to maintain defensive lines and positions, resulting in defeat for the adversary.” 23 hours ago

POLITICS CURRENT EVENTS SOCIETY

“The ruling DPK [Democratic Party of Korea] has one strong contender and one medium contender, and the PPP [People Power Party] is also shaping up in the same format due to the support for Hong [Hong Joon-pyo]. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] promotes the image of being him a man of principle and the rule of law, but runs the risk of allegations of him being involved with political meddling. On the other hand, Hong is good at debates and offers radical and catchy pledges such as abolishing unions and a revival of the bar exams, although his pledges are not really feasible.”
