  • Itamar Ben-Gvir
    Itamar Ben-Gvir “I have no doubt that Netanyahu will bring me in [the war cabinet]. I think Netanyahu understands very well what I want from him. We have private conversations and in private conversations I allow myself to tell him many things.” 4 hours ago
  • William Lai
    William Lai “I hope that China will face the reality of the Republic of China's existence and in good faith ... engage in cooperation with the legal government chosen by Taiwan's people.” 4 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “When it comes to Iranian policy, it is Khamenei who calls the shots, not the president. So we don't anticipate any change in Iranian behavior. And therefore the Iranians should not expect any change in American behavior when it comes to holding them accountable.” 4 hours ago
  • Ali Vaez
    Ali Vaez “The upcoming election offers an opportunity for the clerical establishment to pursue a different course by allowing a relatively competitive vote. But I suspect that the regime is dedicating all its efforts to preparing for a succession after Khamenei, striving to create homogeneous conditions at the top of the power pyramid, and not allowing any rivals into this circle.” 5 hours ago
  • Sanam Vakil
    Sanam Vakil “[Raisi] was a loyal functionary willing to do the bidding of the supreme leader through multiple institutions. There are no obvious candidates that can tick a lot of boxes.” 5 hours ago
  • Hamidreza Azizi
    Hamidreza Azizi “The death of Raisi, in itself, will not cause a significant shift in Iran's policies. After all, the president is the second in command in the power hierarchy of the Islamic republic, and strategic directions are set by the supreme leader. The next president could have significant influence over the overall trajectory of Khamenei's succession. As a result, this is going to lead to heightened intra-conservative competition to [become president].” 5 hours ago
  • Lauren Easton
    Lauren Easton “The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment. The shutdown was not based on the content of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country's new foreign broadcaster law. We urge the Israeli authorities to return our equipment and enable us to reinstate our live feed immediately so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.” 10 hours ago
  • Itamar Ben-Gvir
    Itamar Ben-Gvir “Israel should be the one that controls the Gaza Strip, unequivocally, and no one else. Most important is encouraging voluntary emigration of Palestinians from the enclave. Israel could then facilitate the return of settlements. I would love to live in Gaza if possible.” 11 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “An attempt to show that the prime minister of Israel and the leaders of terrorist organisations are the same, and the involvement of international institutions in this, is unacceptable.” 11 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “They [the Russian side] are always blocking everything, they will undermine the process, and they won't rest until they present us with their own plan for ending the war, which will inevitably be an ultimatum, as we have seen on many previous occasions. We can't hand the initiative over to them [...] Our agenda can't be dictated by Russia. This is a war against us, so there is justice in this. The goal of the summit is to come up, between Ukraine and its allies, with a joint stance on three key questions - and then to inform Russia of their position. If all countries support these three points, as I said, then a detailed step-by-step plan will be developed and presented to Russian representatives across different platforms that different countries have [...] Then Russia will have to contend with most of the world.” 11 hours ago
  • John Holman
    John Holman “Few question his ongoing legitimacy and he [Zelenskyy] remains popular. Although lower than before, his approval rating's still above 60 percent. Many Ukrainians also feel an election would be unrealistic and disrupt the war effort. In a poll this March [2024], 78 percent of those asked said they were against elections before the end of the war. But in addition to that there's also the practical difficulties. Some Ukrainian towns are in ruins. Many power plants have been hit so there's rolling blackouts. And perhaps most importantly, there's 8 million people displaced, 5 million outside the country.” 11 hours ago

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

“We treat the Republic of North Macedonia as a country where our compatriots live. Their political elite cannot understand exactly what they want and what they do not want. They want to enter the EU in muddy shoes, without apologizing for the killed Bulgarians.”

“We hope that together with our brothers from North Macedonia, next year we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Goce Delchev. Today marks 149 years since the birth of Goce Delchev, voivode activist of the revolutionary liberation movement of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, among our most distinguished common historical heroes. I hope we have wisdom next year, along with our friends and brothers from North Macedonia, to celebrate its 150th anniversary, united and together on the path of European integration.”

“Yes, Germany’s EU Presidency was a failure. However, I would not say that it is Germany’s fault, nor of all the countries in the Western Balkans. Some, such as North Macedonia, deserve to open the first chapters in the EU accession negotiations, but have been denied that right and cannot be said to be at fault. Others, such as Vučić’s Serbia, not only did almost nothing, but the rule of law and democracy, during 2020, further declined, and additional chapters with them were not opened.”

“While it is uncertain that North Macedonia and Albania will progress this year, I would think the odds are good. After Bulgarian elections (scheduled for March) there will be a chance to find a face-saving way out for Bulgaria. However, if that opportunity is missed, the risk will be that the veto 'settles in' and becomes harder to challenge in the subsequent period.”

“Bulgaria is saying 'No' to the start of negotiations, we are not saying 'No' to North Macedonia's accession to the EU. No one is disputing their right to self-define their nation and call their language what they like. But we cannot agree that this right will be based on hatred, history theft and denial of Bulgaria.”

“There is a lot of symbolism in the fact that Bulgaria and North Macedonia co-hosted the Summit. This was the first time that an EU member country and a Western Balkans country were hosts together, and this is a proof of our dedication to the development of the region.”

“Trust is the foundation of a strong partnership, and Europe will always be ready to build strong partnerships with our closest neighbours. This starts with the Western Balkans. The decision six months ago to open accession negotiations with Albania and North Macedonia was truly historical. Indeed, the future of the whole region is in the European Union. We share the same history, we share the same destiny. We will soon present the Economic Recovery Package for the region, focusing on the number of investment initiatives and we will be there for the Eastern Partnership countries and our Southern Neighbours as well.”

“I look forward to discussions with member states and holding as soon as possible the first Intergovernmental Conference with the two countries. Their future is clear in the European Union, and I am confident that they will continue to implement reforms on their path to the EU, as they have done so far.”
