  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “But while Israel has shown willingness, Hamas remains entrenched in its extreme positions, first among them the demand to remove all our forces from the Gaza Strip, end the war, and leave Hamas in power. Israel cannot accept that.” 14 hours ago
  • Bernard Smith
    Bernard Smith “I know my colleagues who were working out of occupied East Jerusalem have now stopped working out of there, and both Arabic and English channels have stopped broadcasting from there. The reason that those of us here in Ramallah and Gaza are still operating is because this is the occupied Palestinian territories. The Cabinet decision applies in Israel and Israel's domestic territory. To close Al Jazeera's operations in this part of the occupied West Bank, a military order from the governor would be required. That hasn't come yet. The network might be looking at some legal appeal, but it's a 45-day closure for now. It could be extended again, but it gives the Israeli authorities the right to seize Al Jazeera's broadcasting equipment and cut the channel from cable and satellite broadcasters. We know that's already happened in the last couple of hours in Israel; any operators that have been broadcasting Al Jazeera English or Arabic now have a sign on their screens saying they're no longer allowed to transmit and receive Al Jazeera.” 14 hours ago
  • Omar Shakir
    Omar Shakir “Their [Al Jazeera] offices have been bombed in Gaza. Their staff have been beaten in the West Bank. They've been killed in the West Bank and Gaza. Rather than trying to silence reporting on its atrocities in Gaza, Israel should stop committing them.” 14 hours ago

“It's an issue of reunification, complete reunification, and … of Taiwan coming back to the motherland. Use of force was the last thing China wanted, as it was waiting for a peaceful reunification. But we cannot, we can never rule out the option to use other means, so when necessary, when compelled, we are ready to use all necessary means. As to what does it mean, 'all necessary means'? You can use your imagination, but … [the] Chinese people are absolutely determined to protect our sovereignty, territorial integrity, we will never allow Taiwan to be separated from China.”

“[We] are only issuing a warning to the perpetrators. China would firmly smash the Taiwan authorities' illusion of gaining independence through the US. We urge the US to do some earnest reflection, and immediately correct its mistakes.”

“We have said from the start that our representation here is not about changing the status quo in Taiwan or the region. The Chinese government is not pleased that our friendship with Taiwan is a strong one. It is bipartisan in the House and in the Senate, overwhelming support for peace and the status quo in Taiwan.”

“China will use this incident to strengthen its sovereignty claim over Taiwan. For instance, sending squadrons of military aircraft to enter the 'airspace' of Taiwan, or sending military vessels to enter the 'water areas' controlled by the Taiwan military.”

“Based on the released information about the PLA drills from August 4 to 7, the six locations have already encircled the island of Taiwan from all directions, and it could be a series of unprecedented military exercises aimed at realizing reunification by force and also to fight against the external forces that could interrupt the reunification process.”

“China won't allow another case like 'Pelosi's visit' to happen again, which means we won't let this visit to set a bad example for more countries such as the UK, France and Germany to follow suit, further hollowing out our sovereignty over Taiwan.”

“She's a high-ranking official in the U.S. government. But it is not unusual. I was there three months ago with five other senators. We have a longstanding history of visiting Taiwan. And so we can't let the Chinese say who can and cannot visit Taiwan.”

“The United States is not going to be intimidated by China's threats or bellicose rhetoric. We will continue to support Taiwan, defend a free and open Indo-Pacific and seek to maintain communication with Beijing. United States will not engage in sabre-rattling. China might engage in economic coercion toward Taiwan. The impact on American-Chinese relations will depend on Beijing's actions in the coming days and weeks.”

“The air force has many types of fighter jets capable of circling the precious island of our motherland [Taiwan]. China's air force has the firm will, full confidence and sufficient capability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“China probably saw in Ukraine that you don't achieve quick, decisive victories with underwhelming force. Our sense is that it [Russia's five-month-old war in Ukraine] probably affects less the question of whether the Chinese leadership might choose some years down the road to use force to control Taiwan, but how and when they would do it. I suspect the lesson that the Chinese leadership and military are drawing is that you've got to amass overwhelming force if you're going to contemplate that in the future.”

“I believe everyone is as surprised and sad as I am. Taiwan and Japan are both democratic countries with rule of law. On behalf of my government, I would like to severely condemn violent and illegal acts. Former Prime Minister Abe is not only a good friend of mine, but also a staunch friend of Taiwan's. He has supported Taiwan for many years and spared no effort to promote the progress of Taiwan-Japan relations.”

“If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese army will definitely not hesitate to start a war no matter the cost. The PLA [People's Liberation Army] would have no choice but to fight … and crush any attempt of Taiwan independence, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“We urge relevant US politicians to earnestly abide by the one-China principle, and immediately stop official exchanges with Taiwan in any form and refrain from sending any wrong signals to the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces. China will continue to take forceful measures to resolutely safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“American officials will probably emphasise over the coming hours that Biden's comments meant the US would provide military equipment in the event of China's invasion of Taiwan. If he can have a do-over he'd probably change the way he replied to that question. Unfortunately, it causes a lot of confusion not just here in Taiwan, but in the United States as well as with China.”

“This is both a useful 'slip of tongue' and a revealing reflection of a widely shared assumption within the US government. Biden has done this multiple times before, be it at the CNN Townhall in early 2021, or his statement about the non-existent 'Taiwan agreement,'. This time Biden's statement itself seems illogical but the sentiment and signal it sends are politically very useful.”

“Some say it's a carefully coordinated campaign of ambiguity. Others say that Biden is senile and misspoke. I would argue that at this point the reason doesn't really matter. In the event of a war, it would always be up to the president to decide whether to intervene or not regardless of the formal policy. We now have a clear window on what Biden's decision would be. For years, US strategists argued the ambiguity was a good thing. It kept Beijing guessing but was not an explicit threat to intervene in what the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] would see as its internal affairs. As the US-China relationship has deteriorated, and the military balance in the Taiwan Strait shifted, many US strategists have called for the US to clarify its commitment.”
