  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 3 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 3 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 4 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 4 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 4 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] has continuously lied on humanitarian aid and the presence of Eritrean soldiers, among other things. It wouldn't be rational to take his word. A truce as with any other peace deal should be formalized and transparent, with mediators providing some guarantees. With such a framework absent, one shouldn't be hopeful.”

“Diplomats have to find a political way. Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] cannot win this war. The Ethiopian army is relatively weakened. They are losing cities and his going to the battlefront doesn't change anything - negotiations are the only way out of this.”

“Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] had used a lot of war imagery when accepting his Nobel prize but that had been to highlight the horror of war. And here we are, almost full circle with a Nobel Peace Prize winner using the most bellicose language to try and ramp up the stakes ahead of the defence of not only Ethiopia, but life and death. He says he's basically willing to die for the cause.”

“Abiy's [Abiy Ahmed] mimicry of Ethiopia's war-time Emperors has taken on an all too palpable schizophrenic overtone. He has vowed to join 'his forces' in the battlefield in the honorable tradition of his 'glorious predecessors'. I would've dismissed this is yet another sick joke any day.”

“There is a new marriage of convenience between at least a faction of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and the TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] because Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] has managed to alienate the Oromo, including some Amhara. And the TPLF is trying to take advantage of this situation, as well as the OLA [outlawed splinter group of the OLF].”
