  • Daoud Kuttab
    Daoud Kuttab “Throughout this Israeli war on Gaza, there hasn't been a warning publicly made by the US that Israel has heeded. It is indeed unclear to what extent such warnings are just optics of putting pressure on the Israeli government while continuing to support its every move. In this sense, one should take with a grain of salt reports that the Biden administration is holding off one shipment of weapons to Israel to pressure it into halting the full-scale invasion of Rafah.” 9 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “The US must now use ALL its leverage to demand an immediate ceasefire, the end of the attacks on Rafah, and the immediate delivery of massive amounts of humanitarian aid to people living in desperation. Our leverage is clear. Over the years, the United States has provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.” 10 hours ago
  • Lloyd Austin
    Lloyd Austin “We've been very clear … from the very beginning that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Rafah without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battlespace. We've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment [of weapons].” 10 hours ago
  • Vuk Vuksanović
    Vuk Vuksanović “This visit [Xi Jinping in Belgrade] shows that Serbia has exchanged Russia for China went it comes to its main partner to bargain with the West. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine placed the Serbo-Russian relationship under close monitoring, so the government sees a benefit in playing the Chinese card more often now since it's deemed to be less provocative. The Balkans, and Serbia in particular, have become even more interesting for China now that one branch of the Belt and Road Initiative through Russia and Belarus was effectively cut off with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” 10 hours ago
  • Aleksandar Vucic
    Aleksandar Vucic “I told him [Xi Jinping] that as the leader of a great power he will be met with respect all over the world, but the reverence and love he encounters in our Serbia will not be found anywhere else. When it comes to cooperation with Beijing, the sky is the limit.” 11 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Rafah is now a city of children, who have nowhere safe to go in Gaza. If large-scale military operations start, not only will children be at risk from the violence, but also from chaos and panic, and at a time where their physical and mental states are already weakened.” 14 hours ago
  • Hani Mahmoud
    Hani Mahmoud “You cannot create a safe zone in a war zone. Every time people move from one place to another, they are in search of basic needs and … necessities that are becoming very hard to find right now.” 14 hours ago

“There are a lot of cases when Polish and Lithuanian border guards beat migrants and pushed them back to Belarusian territory. I would say that this is total shame and a total violation of any possible international conventions and rules.”

“We heat Europe, and they are still threatening us that they'll shut the borders. And what if we cut off [the transit of] natural gas to them? So I would recommend that the leadership of Poland, Lithuanian and other brainless people to think before they speak.”

“This is not a bilateral issue of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus. This is a challenge to the whole of the European Union. And this is not a migration crisis. This is the attempt of an authoritarian regime to try to destabilise its democratic neighbours. This will not succeed. We know the patterns. We are used to that, by seeing how there was the attempt to influence our democratic elections. We see the cyberattacks. We see the misinformation. Now, we have this hybrid attack by instrumentalising migrants at the EU-Belarus border. And we have to protect our democracies from this kind of cynical geopolitical power play.”

“We condemn violence, especially violence against migrants. I did not notice that these people threatened anyone, it is a shame. We have to find out what happened and it must not happen. It is one thing to appreciate the work of the Croatian police, which guards the green border. For political reasons, Croatia will not raise the wire towards BiH, due to relations with Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats… Each state protects its borders. This is possible, but force cannot be used as in this situation in which it was not necessary. Lithuania, Latvia, you have seen what is happening, it is the destabilization of the Baltic countries and the EU, it is difficult for them, their borders are big… Belarusian forces are coming and pushing people across the border. The issue of illegal migration is a serious issue.”

“I'm heartened to see vocal support from the EU [to Taiwan] in part because as Beijing tries to bully Lithuania, it's important to show that's not going to work. The EU didn't need to make this statement - it was a decision to make a statement they know would not be viewed favourably by Beijing.”

“Making the plan public at this time suggests that Biden wants to test Xi's reaction. However, judging by the very strong response from China with regard to a planned Taiwan office in Lithuania, Beijing is unlikely to just let a name change happen without protest. A name change would likely result in a suspension of US-China cooperation and might also lead to skirmishes in the East China Sea and Taiwan Strait, which would be intended to test Washington's resolve to help Taiwan in the event of a conflict with China.”

“When speaking with Gabrielius Landsbergis [Lithuania Minister of Foreign Affairs], I expressed our support for Lithuania on its regional challenges, decision to expand ties with Taiwan, and support for the pro-democracy movement in Belarus. The United States is proud to have Lithuania as one of our closest NATO Allies.”

“Many European countries have representative offices with 'Taipei' as its name to maintain an unofficial relationship. However, the 'Taiwanese representative office' in Lithuania is fundamentally different as it indicates the secessionist concept of 'one China, one Taiwan'.”

“The definition of the one-China principle is not to be distorted. The Chinese people will never allow the act of flagrantly engaging in official interactions with the Taiwan authorities and even endorsing those seeking 'Taiwan independence' while paying lip service to the one-China principle. Ever since the two countries established diplomatic relations…China has always respected Lithuania's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, but Lithuania's decision to allow the Taiwan authorities to open a 'representative office' under the name of 'Taiwan' has seriously infringed upon China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and severely contravened the one-China principle.”

“Well, we do stand in solidarity with our NATO ally Lithuania and we condemn the PRC's [People's Republic of China] recent retaliatory actions, including the recall of Beijing's ambassador from Vilnius and demanding Lithuania recall its ambassador from Beijing. Taiwan is a global leader in public health and advanced manufacturing and democratic governance, to name just a few areas in which the international community - including the United States - benefits from engagement with Taiwan. Each country should be able to determine the contours of its own 'one China' policy without outside coercion. We have done just that.”

“China acts like a hoodlum, and it simply cannot see what is good about Taiwan. Lithuanian officials should also be invited to Taiwan for talks on direct flights between Taipei and Vilnius. We must stand up to Chinese bullying and repay Lithuania's kindness with real action.”

“In opening representative offices in our two countries, Taiwan and Lithuania aim to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation in the areas of the economy, technology, education and culture.”

“China firmly opposes any official exchanges and the mutual establishment of so-called 'representative offices' between Taiwan and countries having diplomatic relations with China. We urge the Lithuanian side to adhere to the one-China principle and honor its commitment made upon the establishment of diplomatic ties. Also a word of advice to the Taiwan authorities: 'Taiwan independence' leads to a dead end and any attempt to create 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan' will not succeed.”

“Unprecedented event! A civilian passenger plane flying to Vilnius was forcibly landed in Minsk. Belarusian political activist and founder of @NEXTA_EN was on the plane. He is arrested. Regime is behind the abhorrent action. I demand to free Roman Protasevic urgently!”

“We urge the Lithuanian side to stay true to the one-China principle, abide by the commitments it made upon establishing diplomatic ties with China, refuse to be taken advantage of by Taiwan separatist forces, and avoid doing anything detrimental to bilateral political mutual trust.”
