  • Craig Kennedy
    Craig Kennedy “Moscow's funding challenges only increase from here, especially if coalition countries enforce more fully the powerful energy sanction tools at their disposal. Through continued resolve and a clear understanding of Moscow's vulnerabilities, Ukraine and its allies can realise the full potential of their negotiating leverage, avoid making unnecessary concessions, and reduce the longer-term risks posed by Russian revanchism.” 13 minutes ago
  • Justin Trudeau
    Justin Trudeau “The 51st state, that's not going to happen. But people are talking about that, as opposed to talking about what impact 25% tariffs (has) on steel and aluminum coming into the United States. No American wants to pay 25% more for electricity or oil and gas coming in from Canada. That's something I think people need to pay a little more attention to.” 18 minutes ago
  • Stephen J. Rapp
    Stephen J. Rapp “Any prosecution has to be a good process, otherwise it'll look like score-settling. And that can play a key role in reconciling a society and defusing efforts to settle scores, for instance, against the children of parents who committed these crimes.” 8 hours ago
  • Kaja Kallas
    Kaja Kallas “We will be looking at how to ease sanctions. But this must follow tangible progress in a political transition that reflects Syria in all its diversity.” 13 hours ago
  • Hossein Salami
    Hossein Salami “Iran's military is not as weak as some believed. We know that such judgments are the dreams of the enemy, not realities on the ground. Be careful, don't make any strategic mistakes or miscalculations.” 13 hours ago
  • Keith Kellog
    Keith Kellog “These pressures are not just kinetic, just not military force, but they must be economic and diplomatic as well. There are now opportunities to change Iran for the better. We must exploit the weakness we now see. The hope is there, so must too be the action.” 13 hours ago
  • Annalena Baerbock
    Annalena Baerbock “Sanctions against Assad's henchmen who committed serious crimes during the civil war must remain in place. Germany would provide another €50m for food, emergency shelter and medical care. Syrians now need a quick dividend from the transition of power.” 13 hours ago

“If Hamas does not soon allow the release of the Israeli hostages and does not stop firing at Israel, it will receive blows with a force not seen in Gaza for a long time.”

“Hamas is more isolated than ever after the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. It expected help from Hezbollah - we took that away. It expected help from Iran - we took that as well. It expected help from the Assad regime - okay, that won't happen anymore. The isolation of Hamas opens another opening to making progress on a deal that will bring our hostages back.”

“The most important thing today in the war is to bring the hostages home. This is the supreme goal that stands before us, and we are working in every way to make this happen. The intensity of the pressure on this monstrous organisation called Hamas is increasing and there is a chance that this time we can really advance a hostage deal.”

“It is a very strong statement, which makes it clear that there is one party responsible for this situation - and that is Hamas. Hamas must release the hostages. Trump put the emphasis in the right place - on Hamas, and not on the Israeli government, as is customary in some places.”

“Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it's all talk, and no action! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”

“We made clear throughout negotiations that we could not support an unconditional ceasefire that failed to release the hostages. A durable end to the war must come with the release of the hostages. These two urgent goals are inextricably linked. This resolution abandoned that necessity, and for that reason, the United States could not support it.”

“Israeli army is implementing ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza with the aim of building illegal Israeli settlements. In other words, colonisation. Yes, our army is forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from northern Gaza to flee south by starving them, bombing them, killing dozens daily, leaving no choice. Then, they claim people chose to leave, but the reality is they're forced out to make way for new Israeli settlements. Israeli government has started talking about expanding military bases and creating permanent structures in Gaza to fulfil the war's goal of building Jewish settlements there. Will this bring back the hostages? Will this bring us security? The answer is no. It'll only create more bloodshed and endless war.”

“We are sending Hamas a very clear message: the IDF does not tire. The more we fight, the stronger we become, gaining more experience, capabilities, professionalism, values, and determination. We are progressing with great intensity. The fact that you [troops in northern Gaza's Jabalia] are concluding three weeks here with approximately 1,000 terrorists killed and 1,000 terrorists captured is a significant achievement that deals Hamas a severe blow. We are providing the residents near the northern Gaza border with greater security and creating conditions for this security to endure, to not to be fleeting. Reaching an agreement is complex, but with the strength you are displaying here and the powerful way in which the IDF is fighting on seven fronts, in seven arenas, Israel is telling the entire Middle East - there is immense strength here, and incredible capability. From this position of power, we are supporting our civilians and soldiers who are held hostage and are prepared to fight with tremendous determination, as well as pay a price to bring them home. We are not stopping or slowing down; this is to bring back the hostages, to ensure security for the surrounding communities.”

“Gallant's salute at the end of his speech will be engraved in the memory of every Israeli. This is how an officer and fighter who was fired only because he refused to prefer Netanyahu's wretched politics over the good of the fighters and the lives of the hostages.”

“No one in the government has any intention for withdrawal from Gaza. Without withdrawal, there is no ceasefire, no agreement and no hostages release. Nobody in the government will let the army totally withdraw from Gaza, and this means war forever. Israeli soldiers are being killed in Gaza, and, despite this, almost nobody is speaking about withdrawal. But with Hezbollah, things are clearer because if the group agrees to withdraw beyond the Litani River, they understand - at least in the army - that continuing to fight will lead to nowhere because Hezbollah is too strong still. You cannot go and crush Hezbollah. I think the real question is why don't you adopt the same policy in Gaza because it makes sense now. Let's go out.”

“Israeli strike on Iran is nothing more than a fraction of the harm Israel can inflict to the regime, should it choose to continue its aggression. Israel's direct and precise strike last night on Iranian territory targeting key security industries and military targets is important not only in of itself but due to the method by which it was executed. The attack marks a new stage in our war against the Iranian regime that paves the way for future operations. The campaign is far from over. We must continue persevering in the efforts to bring our hostages home, replace the Hamas regime, and continue to degrade Hezbollah's capabilities to create a new reality on our northern border that will enable our citizens to return home and live in safety.”

“The focus is on options to capitalize on this moment and next steps to move the process forward. Going back to the negotiations on cease-fire and the hostages, one of the things we're doing is looking at whether there are different options that we can pursue to get us to a conclusion, to get us to a result.”

“Hamas's remaining leadership is still unlikely to withdraw its demand for a permanent truce or to accept permanent Israeli occupation of parts of Gaza. Hamas's new leadership might be more willing than Mr. Sinwar to hand over power to a technocratic Palestinian government, in order to ensure the group can survive at least in some form in Gaza. It could also show more flexibility in the negotiations over the hostages, perhaps agreeing to exchange more hostages for fewer Palestinian prisoners. And it might also tolerate a temporary Israeli presence in Gaza as long as Israel nominally promised to withdraw permanently in the future. You could find a weakened, more pragmatic leadership in Hamas that would make some tactical compromises, though not on the strategic issues. They won't say: 'Yes, we'll do whatever you want, Mr. Netanyahu.' But for the sake of their own physical survival, they may make more compromises than the man who initiated the whole war.”

“Hamas will no longer rule Gaza. This is the beginning of the day after Hamas, and this is an opportunity for you, the residents of Gaza, to finally break free from its tyranny. This is an important moment in the war. We will continue with all our strength until the return of all of your loved ones, who are our loved ones. Sinwar ruined your life. He told you he was a lion, but in reality he was hiding in a dark den. And he was killed when he fled in a panic from our soldiers. To the Hamas terrorists I say: your leaders are fleeing and they will be eliminated. Anyone holding hostages will be allowed to live if they lay down their weapons and release their captives. And at the same time I say, whoever harms our hostages, his blood will be on his head. We will come to a reckoning with him.”

“Every air strike, every missile launch, every rocket fired pushes peace further out of reach and makes the suffering even worse for the millions of civilians caught in the middle. That is why we cannot and will not give up on our calls for an immediate ceasefire both in Gaza and Lebanon, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages, and immediate lifesaving aid to all those who desperately need it.”

“I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to the families of our heroes who fell today in Lebanon, may God avenge them, and may their memories be a blessing. We are in the middle of a tough war against Iran's axis of evil, which seeks to destroy us. This will not happen because we will stand together, and with God's help - we will win together. We will rescue our hostages in the south, we will return our residents in the north, we will guarantee Israel's eternity.”
