  • 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 7 hours ago

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

“People in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea no longer live in a cocoon with no information from the world outside. The current generation of North Koreans has experienced the freedom of enterprise and choice - however restricted - offered by the jangmadang informal markets. They watch TV dramas from China and South Korea and do not accept the propaganda, however harsh their lives might be. The regime fears the confluence of a more informed, less unconditionally loyal population, with greater hardships. When loyalty is replaced by fear and the general population suffers increasing hardships, he said, the situation becomes unsustainable. Change is bound to come. We just don't know when, or in what form it will happen.”

“Special Representative Noh [Noh Kyu-duk] and I also discussed the end of war proposal, and I look forward to continuing those discussions and other issues of mutual concern when I'm in Seoul later this week. The U.S. continues to reach out to Pyongyang to restart dialogue. Our intent remains the same. We harbor no hostile intent toward the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] and we are open to meeting without preconditions.”

“The DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] knows President Moon [Moon Jae-in] wants to take one last shot at forging a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula, while the North wants sanctions relief. It seems to me that due to these factors - and if the U.S. is at least willing to entertain some sort of sanctions relief - an inter-Korean summit seems inevitable.”

“(North Korea's) measures to bolster up the capability for defense to cope with the U.S. military threat to bring us down by force are described as 'provocations' while the arms buildup escalated by the U.S. and its vassal forces to threaten the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] is justified as 'deterrent.' Such an American-style double-dealing attitude is also a product of the hostile policy toward the DPRK.”

“I and Comrade General Secretary have maintained close communication and led the bilateral relations for them to develop in a stable way and, thus steadily made good success, which further enriched the traditional bilateral friendship. I highly value the development of the China-DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] relations and intend to develop these ties of friendship and cooperation on a long-term basis and in a stable way.”

“We discussed possible humanitarian assistance to the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]. I reaffirmed U.S. support for inter-Korean dialogue and engagement stipulated by the joint statement between our two leaders in May and will continue to render our support to inter-Korean humanitarian cooperation projects.”

“We are looking forward to a reliable, predictable, constructive way forward with the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]. As the first vice foreign minister [South Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun] noted, we have offered to sit and dialogue with the North Koreans, and we're waiting to hear from them. And as he also has said, we all feel for the people of the DPRK, who are indeed, facing all the most difficult circumstances given the pandemic, and what it means as well for their food security. We only hope for a better outcome for the people of the DPRK.”

“We continue to hope that the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] will respond positively to our outreach and our offer to meet anywhere, anytime, without preconditions. We took note of Chairman Kim's [Kim Jong-un] recent statement, referring to both dialogue and confrontation. We will be prepared for either.”

“I am troubled that legislators in an ostensibly vibrant democracy would contemplate criminalizing conduct aimed at promoting democracy and providing spiritual and humanitarian succor to people suffering under one of the cruelest communist dictatorships in the world. We see undue acquiescence not only to the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea ― as evidenced by this inane legislation criminalizing humanitarian outreach to North Korea ― but also a diplomatic tilt towards communist China.”

“Is it possible to hold dialogue or have any dealings with the US which persists in the hostile policy towards the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] in disregard of the agreements already made at the past summit? We do not feel any need to sit face-to-face with the US, as it does not consider the DPRK-US dialogue as nothing more than a tool for grappling its political crisis. The US is mistaken if it thinks things like negotiations would still work on us.”
