    Mahjoob Zweiri “What we have witnessed in the past few hours is that they talk about an agreement on the first stage. It could be understood that Hamas wants to release itself from the pressure globally, including the United States. So, they are giving concessions on the first stage, which leads to 40 days of ceasefire and exchange of captives. I think 33 old and sick captives. And then moving on to other stages. But we are seeing that we are going back to the main conditions, which means we are still talking about the main principles [complete ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza] that Hamas talked about. As the time of some sort of agreement on the first stage came, the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to say actually, there is no agreement: We will go to Rafah regardless of any agreement. It reflects the divisions within the Israelis and crisis within the Israeli politics. On the other hand, Hamas has been more cautious. They do not want to show real progress made but they also do not want to say things have not changed. I think it's obvious some change has happened otherwise we would not expect [CIA chief] William Burns to be in the region.” 11 hours ago

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

“We have no aggressive intentions towards these states. The idea that we will attack some other country - Poland, the Baltic States, and the Czechs are also being scared - is complete nonsense. It's just drivel. If they supply F-16s, and they are talking about this and are apparently training pilots, this will not change the situation on the battlefield. And we will destroy the aircraft just as we destroy today tanks, armoured vehicles and other equipment, including multiple rocket launchers. Of course, if they will be used from airfields in third countries, they become for us legitimate targets, wherever they might be located.”

“Bolstering Ukraine's air defence and expediting the delivery of F-16s to Ukraine are vital tasks. There are no rational explanations for why Patriots, which are plentiful around the world, are still not covering the skies of Kharkiv and other cities.”

“Today we can announce that the Netherlands and Denmark commit to the transfer of F-16 aircraft to Ukraine and the Ukrainian Air Force, in cooperation with the U.S. and other allies.”

“There is the payment of $1.4bn we have made for the F-35s and the US had such a proposal in return for these payments. And regarding this, we said let's take whatever steps are needed to be taken to meet the defence needs of our country. We are working to further develop our fleet from the modernisation of the F-16s in our possession to new additional F-16 purchases.”

“With the modernisation of the F-16s, the Rafale purchase and frigate purchase, Greece is covering some of the lost ground. Because all these years, Turkey greatly reinforced its defence industry. In very little time over 70 percent of its systems are home-built. Let's not kid ourselves, Greece is doing all this because of its problems with Turkey. If we had the neighbours Switzerland has, things would be much simpler and money would go to education, health and the social state.”

“When the Rafale [fighter jet] enter service in a few months, Turkey will have a serious problem in the balance of power vis-a-vis Greece. And if the Americans embargo spare parts for their existing F-16s, then the problem will become extremely serious, at least for the medium term. If it [Turkey] buys Sukhoi it will be a much more decisive step away from the Western architecture than the S-400 purchase … We are at the start of a Cold War. Turkey's move may be an irreversible rift with the West.”
