  • Simon Harris
    Simon Harris “Israel must stop firing on UN peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL in Lebanon. Israel must listen to the voice and the concerns of the international community.” 2 hours ago
  • Ramesh Poola
    Ramesh Poola “Obviously, we were looking for more details on what exactly his future plans are going to be and how he's [Elon Musk] going to monetise this new AI and robotics. He's shown the prototypes and definitely, there's some excitement around it. But widespread adoption of autonomous Cybercabs, where riders can hail rides through an Uber-style app, are still maybe three to four years away.” 2 hours ago
  • Matthew Wansley
    Matthew Wansley “Tesla software is at least years behind where Waymo is. That's the hard part. No flashy vehicle design is going to change that.” 2 hours ago
  • Ross Gerber
    Ross Gerber “His [Elon Musk] vision is lovely, but somebody has to actualise it. For now, for the next 24 months, Tesla has to sell EVs. Why aren't we focused on that?” 2 hours ago
  • Noemi Di Segni
    Noemi Di Segni “We are experiencing hours of grave tension for what happened with the attacks of the Israeli army against UNIFIL outposts, in a situation on the ground that is extremely complex and dangerous for everybody. We are fully aware of the critical nature of the ongoing situation, including on a political level, of these episodes which, we have learned, are being subjected to a careful investigation by all the appropriate.” 2 hours ago
  • Dorsa Jabbari
    Dorsa Jabbari “Hezbollah is standing firm; just this afternoon, we heard from the media relations department, which delivered a message to the internal parties in Lebanon not to bet on Hezbollah's defeat. The organisation has suffered hits, but they are not out. They haven't even used most of the military potential that they have despite the continuous Israeli bombardment. Of course, we are now seeing a huge civilian toll that is now caught in the middle of this fighting.” 7 hours ago
  • Touraj Atabaki
    Touraj Atabaki “Pezeshkian [Masud Pezeshkian] is trying to gauge to what extent Iran can rely on Russia for help. Russia wants to stand with Iran due to Iran's support in its war on Ukraine but Moscow doesn't want to darken its relationship with Israel further and cut all ties.” 8 hours ago
  • Barack Obama
    Barack Obama “We don't need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division. America is ready to turn the page. We are ready for a better story, one that helped us work together instead of turning against each other. Pennsylvania, we're ready for President Kamala Harris. I am the hopey changey guy so I understand people feeling frustrated, feeling we can do better. What I cannot understand is why anybody would think that Donald Trump will shake things up in a way that is good for you, Pennsylvania. I don't understand that.” 8 hours ago
  • Masoud Pezeshkian
    Masoud Pezeshkian “European countries and the United States don't want relations between countries [in the Middle East] to develop peacefully. The situation in the region has escalated dramatically because Israel doesn't recognize any international legal and humanitarian standards.” 9 hours ago
  • Nicholas Eberstadt
    Nicholas Eberstadt “For the first time since the Black Death in the 1300s, the planetary population will decline. But whereas the last implosion was caused by a deadly disease borne by fleas, the coming one will be entirely due to choices made by people. With birthrates plummeting, more and more societies are heading into an era of pervasive and indefinite depopulation, one that will eventually encompass the whole planet. What lies ahead is a world made up of shrinking and aging societies.” 9 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “This is exactly what we need - the restoration of a just peace for Ukraine, and this is a victory for us, and this is what we are working for. Today I will present Olaf [German Chancellor Olaf Scholz] with a plan on how, in our opinion, to force Russia to peace, that is, how to end this war, I would like to say, no later than 2025. That is, this plan is not to replace our peace initiative, but to strengthen Ukraine's position for the sake of getting closer to peace.” 10 hours ago
  • Benjamin Soskis
    Benjamin Soskis “I'm not sure there is a precedent in modern history to how Musk has inserted himself into the presidential race.” 11 hours ago
  • Daniel Seidemann
    Daniel Seidemann “Since last year, the Israeli military and particularly the political echelons have become more promiscuous with how many human casualties they can tolerate. Any military operation requires proportionality. What we witnessed in Gaza and Lebanon and engagement with UNIFIL, it goes well beyond any reasonable interpretation of what proportionality is. These are unnecessary casualties. But my government is not interested in a diplomatic solution, my prime minister has a vested interest in prolonging the war.” 11 hours ago
  • Guy Shalev
    Guy Shalev “There are more than 20,000 Palestinians who await medical evacuation in Gaza who can't be treated there and can't get out. Only several hundred have been allowed to leave since May. In the occupied West Bank, the organisation is working closely with Palestinians to document settler violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities while trying to assist prisoners. Access is very restricted. For instance, the ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross] has not had any access to any Israeli prison in the past year, which is a dire violation of prisoners' human rights and of international law. We're getting a lot of medical requests that we can't fully address because of the sheer amount and scale of violations. We're now trying to address the needs of people who weigh just 40kg and are in very bad health conditions after long months of not getting proper medical care and nutrition.” 11 hours ago
  • Mohammed Afif
    Mohammed Afif “Some media outlets, including global international outlets, cannot dare address the Israelis and tell them openly you are killing unarmed, defenceless innocent civilians. The Israeli army continues to bombard residential areas and kill civilians, under the false pretext that these are weapons depots. The Israelis are even targeting Dahiyeh with bombs saying there are weapons there. Above all, they impede and deny the civil defence and paramedics access to the areas.” 11 hours ago
  • Elon Musk
    Elon Musk “With autonomy, you get your time back. It'll save lives, a lot of lives, and prevent injuries. With that amount of training data it's obviously going to be much better than a human can be because you can't live a million lives. It doesn't get tired, and it doesn't text. It'll be 10, 20, 30 times safer than a human.” 12 hours ago
  • Trissia Wijaya
    Trissia Wijaya “I don't think the planned tariffs would have a major effect on Indonesia-China economic cooperation overall. This can be traced back to the real mainstay of our [Indonesian] relationship over the past few years, which is critical mineral trade volume, in which China absorbed more than 80 percent of our nickel output. The nickel supply is pivotal for China's strategic interests. As long as the mainstay is not destroyed, I don't think it would infuriate Beijing either as it is applicable to textiles, ceramics, and electronics.” 21 hours ago
  • Lin Jian
    Lin Jian “China will closely follow possible safeguard tariffs Indonesia may impose on specific products, and take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.” 21 hours ago
  • Siwage Dharma Negara
    Siwage Dharma Negara “Just reducing imports may not be an ideal goal. We need imports for raw materials and local industrial materials and, if tariffs are imposed, these industries will be affected. The government should place emphasis on supporting the growth of local businesses in addition to curbing imported goods. Businesses need to be helped to be more efficient and grow stronger, and for this the government needs to provide clear targets.” 21 hours ago
  • Ian Wilson
    Ian Wilson “Jakarta has pursued a model of new developmentalism that aims to foster rapid economic growth while shielding local businesses from competition. Southeast Asian style developmentalism is a well-known model beginning in the 1970s with a high degree of government intervention in the economy overseeing a transition of labour, output, and exports away from low productivity agriculture towards higher productivity manufacturing sector and industrialisation. The immediate question, however, is what is the calculation in imposing tariffs of this kind?” 21 hours ago
  • Husam Abu Safiyeh
    Husam Abu Safiyeh “We have seven cases in intensive care … all these cases are very severe and they all need intensive surgical or medical care. Moving or transporting these patients puts their life in serious danger, it is not possible to transfer them. In addition, there is no facility in Gaza that has capacity to take them as they are all overrun with their own similar cases.” 22 hours ago
  • Dan Ives
    Dan Ives “I think it's one of the most important events that Tesla has ever held. I think it will be viewed five to 10 years from now as what the iPhone launch moment was for Apple.” 22 hours ago

“The only way to prevent a full-scale war in the region is declaring an immediate arms embargo on Israel and imposing a ceasefire in Gaza, with sanctions for non-compliance. Without a ceasefire in Gaza, there won't be a de-escalation with Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, or Iran.”

“It seems like there are two Israels at the moment... On one hand, you have the right-wing Israel that is overtaken by rage and the desire to exact revenge and wanting to change the face of the Middle East, as PM Benjamin Netanyahu says. He wants to go to Lebanon, he wants to decapitate Hezbollah, he wants to end Hamas, he's striking at Yemen, he's threatening Iran. And the Israeli right wing is using this as an opportunity. Then you have the other Israel. You have the families of Israeli captives who want to refocus attention on getting them released and reaching a ceasefire deal, knowing that only a deal that ends the war on Gaza could give the captives the possibility of being released. Whoever is still alive can come home. So there is a lot of frustration on that end.”

“One year after the terrible attack against Israel, the situation is only getting worse. The people in the region are more insecure than ever and are caught in an unending cycle of violence, hatred, and revenge. The October 7 anniversary only reinforces the EU efforts on the need to achieve that regional ceasefire.”

“There were groups of protesters calling for a ceasefire as early as November and December [last year], and I think that number has been growing in a pretty steady way. The number of protesters had grown pretty dramatically in the past week, with an increasing number of Israelis protesting now understanding that a ceasefire is actually the only way that the captives will return to Israel. I think that's now a pretty common understanding among protesters. You do see a rising number of Israelis wanting this to end whether they are in the streets or not.”

“The label [Israeli court called the strikes politically motivated] is just a game, it has nothing to do with legality or illegality. This is a balance of power by which, until now at least, the base of Netanyahu, his coalition allies and himself, are still the ones who determine Israeli policies inside Israel and towards the Palestinians in Gaza. These statements [reports that the United States is expected to hand Netanyahu a take-it-or-leave-it ceasefire deal] have come repeatedly, and the US is still a key mediator. Netanyahu is going to reject the American proposal, whatever it is… his main strategy is to continue the situation of the war because he believes that's the only way that can assure his political survival.”

“As Israelis take to the streets to force the government to agree to a ceasefire deal, it's still difficult to say how much this will change Netanyahu's mind, as the country's Labour Court rules the general strike must end early. Even though some of these strikes might end early, people are still going to be protesting in the streets. The last time we saw a large labour union strike like this was when the country was protesting a different issue, and it had an impact on the government that actually allowed them to change course in their legislation. It's the economic pressure that the demonstrators and the labour union are hoping to apply on Netanyahu and the government so that there can be a deal, ultimately to release the captives.”

“The talks actually progressed to a point where they felt like the next logical step was to have working groups at lower levels to sit down to hammer out these finer details.”

“The main obstacle to reaching a ceasefire deal is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest insistence of keeping the military in Gaza after the ceasefire. The Palestinians and even the mediators are not going to accept Israel directly reoccupying Gaza by having troops deployed in various parts. We are at a fateful crossroads. Either we turn towards a ceasefire in the next few days … or we can have a wider regional war. We will have more escalation of violence in Gaza, in Lebanon and potentially throughout the region because Israel does not have an alternative strategy. Israel has no exit plan.”

“It's a decisive moment for ceasefire talks and for the region, and so every member of this council should continue to send strong messages to other actors in the region to avoid actions that would move us away from finalising this deal.”

“The United States's bridging proposal has turned out to be a betrayal of their own role as mediators. It's not like they have been honest brokers but they had to maintain some form of appearance of objectivity so that the process would be credible and they could get away with whatever they could. Hamas once again finds itself being cornered. It's once again being trapped, and it's mostly because of the US, because we know where Israel has been throughout this process. They're against a permanent ceasefire. Every time Hamas made concessions and accepted another American diktat, the Israelis added new conditions, forcing the Palestinians to accept more concessions. But at this point in time, after so many concessions have been made, the whole point of a ceasefire is no longer there. What we're really talking about now is a pause, whereby Israel's captives are released and Israel resumes the war whenever it wishes.”

“This is a decisive moment, probably the best, maybe the last opportunity to get the hostages home, to get a ceasefire and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security.”

“It just belies the imagination that the US has genuinely wanted these negotiations to succeed for the past seven months and has been unable to find a formula to make that work. I think the real US and Israeli objective in these talks is not to find the ceasefire formula, but rather to find a way to forestall or minimise a response to the recent Israeli assassinations in Beirut and Tehran. However, Hezbollah and Iran are not going to surely delay any response to Israel's actions in the region because of the sort of ongoing process (of ceasefire negotiations) that doesn't yield anything.”

“Today marks a grim milestone for the world. This unimaginable situation is overwhelmingly due to recurring failures by the [Israeli military] to comply with the rules of war. As the world reflects on and considers its inability to prevent this carnage, I urge all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire, lay down their arms and stop the killing once and for all.”

“We see a trend. The number of those who want talks is increasing. In fact, many people don't express their opinion, but this is more of a silent support for the war's end. However, both Ukrainian leaders and the public have a definite understanding that Kyiv can't possibly agree to territorial concessions. The need for a compromise is obvious - even though the majority wouldn't like it. It's a simple ceasefire without an agreement on the territorial issue. It's a lesser evil in comparison with today's situation. The biggest obstacle to peace talks and a ceasefire is Moscow's impossible demands.”

“If a ceasefire is not implemented and if healthcare workers are not granted enough freedom of movement to distribute all the vaccines, the risk of a polio outbreak both within Gaza and regionally is very high. This can spread very fast internationally and most importantly, it is a direct threat to the children of Gaza. This can start paralysing children very very rapidly. If it [polio] spreads into Israel or the West Bank, it becomes a public health emergency there. Lebanon is at risk. Egypt is at risk. Jordan is at risk. And other countries of the region are at risk.”

“Biden is desperate, absolutely desperate to get the ceasefire done before he leaves office. Partly for his own legacy, so that he's not forever known as 'Genocide Joe'. And partly to help Kamala Harris who he expects to succeed him. To give her a chance to move on to the next stage of peace-making in the Middle East. The reports are that Hamas has accepted all the conditions and all the alterations that were made and it's the Israelis that were holding out and kept changing the terms. The Americans, I think, just out of tradition, blame everything on the Arab side, the Palestinian side, the people allied with Iran. But the reality, I think, is much more clear that the obstacle to a ceasefire, exchange of prisoners and hostages, is probably Benjamin Netanyahu.”

“Now, Israel must deal with Sinwar, a man it imprisoned for over two decades and then released in a prisoner exchange deal in 2011 that Netanyahu signed off on. Now, he is the lead negotiator of the faltering ceasefire talks regional and international mediators, including the Biden administration, desperately need to succeed.”

“We've been working from day one not only to try to get to a better place in Gaza but also to prevent the conflict from spreading, whether it's the north with Lebanon and Hezbollah, whether it's the Red Sea with the Houthis, whether it's Iran, Syria, Iraq, you name it. A big key to trying to make sure that doesn't happen, and that we can move to a better place, is getting the ceasefire.”

“The killing will be a fatal blow to the Gaza ceasefire talks. It is expected to undermine months of diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire deal in Gaza, particularly because Qatar acts as the host of the political office of Hamas and it hosted Haniyeh himself.”
