IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Alon Liel
    Alon Liel “The move [Egypt joining South Africa's ICJ genocide case against Israel] is an unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel. Egypt is the cornerstone of our standing in the Middle East. The connections that Israel has in the Middle East and North Africa today, including with Jordan, the UAE and Morocco, is all a result of what Egypt did 40 years ago. With Egypt joining South Africa now in The Hague, it's a real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously. This is what I have been warning about. It's coming from several directions. Israel has to … listen to the world - not only to the Israeli public opinion asking now for revenge. We have to look overall in the wider picture, in the long-term security of Israel, not only in the next few weeks in Gaza.” 4 hours ago
  • Franz-Stefan Gady
    Franz-Stefan Gady “The Russians have understood, just as a lot of analysts have, that the major disadvantage that Ukraine is currently suffering from is manpower. By thinning out the frontline, you are increasing the odds of a breakthrough.” 6 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Syrskyi
    Oleksandr Syrskyi “This week, the situation in Kharkiv Oblast deteriorated substantially. Currently, there are continuing battles along the state's border with Russia. The situation is challenging, but the Defence Forces are doing everything possible to maintain defensive lines and positions, resulting in defeat for the adversary.” 7 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “It is possible that Russia will make further advances in the coming weeks, but we do not anticipate any major breakthroughs, and over time, the influx of U.S. assistance will enable Ukraine to withstand these attacks over the course of 2024.” 7 hours ago
  • Volker Türk
    Volker Türk “I can see no way that the latest evacuation orders, much less a full assault, in an area with an extremely dense presence of civilians, can be reconciled with the binding requirements of international humanitarian law and with the two sets of binding provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice.” 7 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “It is important that partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian stability with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the ones announced.” 20 hours ago
  • Oleh Syniehubov
    Oleh Syniehubov “We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence. As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks.” 20 hours ago

“A large opposition front will come into being to fight this authoritarian drift, especially as the economic and social crisis deepens, increasingly isolating Kais Saied... The big problem since the revolution is this mismatch between the people's socioeconomic demands, unfulfilled until today, and the pursuit of neoliberal policies that has continued post-2011. This is the time for the political class to reflect on the mistakes made in the past 11 years and move forward on new terms.”

“Márki-Zay has not yet boosted support for the opposition, with most polls showing a tight race. The situation is worse than opinion polls suggest as the redrawing of electoral districts by Fidesz has given the ruling party an advantage. The united opposition should win at least 3 to 5% more votes to get a majority mandate in the Hungarian national assembly. That's a huge difference and we don't see this advantage in the polls yet. The political race isn't taking place on an even playing field; it's heavily tilted to Orbán. The integrity of the 2022 election will be even worse than in 2014, or 2018, which were free but not fair. It's already a dirty contest and it will be a huge task for the opposition to win.”

“After 16 years it's the first time the opposition has a real chance to win. Nobody expected the left and centre parties who dominated the opposition could be led by an outsider coming from the right. One of his [Péter Márki-Zay] super-powers is that he can't be blamed as the puppet of the past leftist parties, or the ex-prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány. Now we can see that the Fidesz propaganda machine is confused. [Márki-Zay] is not a liberal intelligentsia, he seems to be much more like a Fidesz member.”

“By pumping fear, Zelenskyy's team is trying to get additional resources to fight opposition, dissidents. Ukraine must think twice, even thrice, before making military decisions to counter Russia.”

“There's no light at the end of the tunnel right now. The election day is going to come and go, and the situation for the people who are imprisoned isn't going to change, the position of the opposition and the heavy, heavy boot print on them is not likely to change.”

“It's one thing to promise changes when you're in the opposition, another to transform them into effective policies when you're in the government. In this sense, she [Virginia Raggi] followed this downward trajectory.”

“In Russia, the Kremlin is using full force to eliminate all possible opposition. I agree that Russia doesn't need to imitate the West, but this manic crackdown on legitimate opposition is shameful.”

“President Aliyev feels he has a green light for this crackdown because Western democracies are too busy right now focusing on their own problems with the coronavirus and their economies. Thanks to COVID-19 and recent border clashes between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces, Aliyev has found that he can go after his opponents without having to face international criticism. With a snap of his finger, President Aliyev can decide everything himself in the cases against his rivals without any due process. This could be the death of the dream for democracy in Azerbaijan.”
