  • Benny Gantz
    Benny Gantz “If you choose to lead the nation to the abyss, we will withdraw from the government [by June 8], turn to the people, and form a government that can bring about a real victory. We did not claim dominance. We did not demand jobs. All we wanted was to serve our country and our people. For many months, the unity was indeed real and meaningful. It prevented serious mistakes, led to great achievements, and returned home over a hundred hostages. Together, we faced the hardships of the campaign, protected the nation with a good and strong spirit - and gave the fighters on the front a feeling of being backed by a shared destiny. But lately, something has gone wrong. Essential decisions were not made. A small minority has taken over the command bridge of the Israeli ship of state and is steering her toward the rocks. I came here today to tell the truth. And the truth is hard: while Israeli soldiers show supreme bravery on the front, some of the people who sent them into battle behave with cowardice and irresponsibility.” 1 hour ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Let's not forget about other fronts beyond the Kharkiv front: the Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove fronts, and the southern fronts; it's tough on all of those fronts, and our forces are fighting back with dignity. I am especially grateful to the soldiers who repelled the Russian assault on Chasiv Yar. Our forces destroyed more than 20 pieces of the occupiers' equipment. Good job!” 1 hour ago
  • António Guterres
    António Guterres “The only permanent way to end the cycle of violence and instability is through a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as capital of both states.” 4 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Civilians are dying there [on border regions such as Belgorod]. It's obvious. They are shooting directly at the city center, at residential areas. And I said publicly that if this continues, we will be forced to create a security zone, a buffer zone. That is what we are doing.” 5 hours ago
  • John Holman
    John Holman “At present Ukraine is outmanned in terms of soldiers in parts of the front line even before the latest Russian attacks. Ukraine said that there were seven Russian soldiers to one Ukrainian soldier, so that's going to put fresh pressure on them.” 5 hours ago
  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 19 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 20 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 20 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 20 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 20 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 20 hours ago

“The agreement signed today in South Africa is monumental in moving Ethiopia forward on the path of the reforms we embarked upon four and a half years ago. Our commitment to peace remains steadfast. And our commitment to collaborating for the implementation of the agreement is equally strong.”

“The most important thing is about the timing. It's important to know why this war resumed right now. The Addis Ababa government must have known that Tigrayan forces are at their weakest point. The organisation and relaunch of war is important.”

“The first phase operation to expel the terrorist group from the areas it invaded has ended with victory. At this moment the enemy's desire and ability (to engage in war) is severely destroyed. The government will take further steps to make sure that (the Tigray forces) desire won't arise again in the future. For now, Ethiopian forces are ordered to maintain the areas it has controlled.”

“If we do see a movement of the Tigrayan forces back into Tigray, that is something we would welcome. It's something we'd call for, and we hope it opens the door to broader diplomacy.”

“The new onslaught of abuses by Amhara forces against Tigrayan civilians remaining in several towns in Western Tigray should ring alarm bells. Without urgent international action to prevent further atrocities, Tigrayans, particularly those in detention, are at grave risk.”

“From that day, Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] felt he was one of the most influential personalities in the world. He felt he had a lot of international support, and that if he went to war in Tigray, nothing would happen. And he was right.”

“The recent TPLF offensive has coincided with highly restricted humanitarian access to Tigray, which has left hundreds of thousands of people in the region on the brink of famine. While the joint report has absolved the government of charges of deliberate deprivation of humanitarian access, and the TPLF offensive naturally continues to disrupt aid efforts, the federal government could and should do more to facilitate humanitarian access. Humanitarian needs should always have priority over military maneuvers.”

“The situation in Ethiopia is extremely dire. We continue operating within the limits of a rapidly evolving situation and we are currently assessing the impact of the nationwide state of emergency. As Tigray and other regions remain sealed off, the dire humanitarian conditions are further aggravated.”

“Civilians in Tigray have been subjected to brutal violence and suffering. The joint investigation team has covered numerous violations and abuses including unlawful killings and extrajudicial executions, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, violations against refugees and forced displacement of civilians. It is vital that all parties heed the repeated calls to end hostilities.”

“The highway is absolutely vital for the national economy. If the Tigrayan forces are able to control that corridor, they can increase pressure on the federal government by restricting the flow of trade. Also, there is the potential for creating a humanitarian corridor to take supplies from Djibouti directly to Tigray bypassing the federal government, therefore providing much needed humanitarian relief to Tigray.”

“We have to make sure the siege on Tigray is broken. We have to make sure that our children are not dying from hunger and starvation. We have to make sure that there is access to food, so we'll do what it takes to make sure that the siege is broken. If marching to Addis [Addis Ababa] is what it takes to break the siege, we will.”

“We have consistently condemned the TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] expansion of the war outside Tigray and we continue to call on the TPLF to withdraw from Afar and Amhara. The expansion of the war however is as predictable as unacceptable given that the Ethiopian government began cutting off humanitarian relief and commercial access to Tigray in June which continues to these days despite horrifying conditions of reported widespread famine.”

“Abiy Ahmed's Air Force did once again strike non-military targets around MU campus. While this is not outrageous enough, a UN Aircraft had to abort its landing because of the air strike. Our air defense units knew the UN plane was scheduled to land and it was due in large measure to their restraint it was not caught in a crossfire. What begs the question however is the government cleared the UN plane to fly to #Mekelle only to send its fighter jet in time to raid civilian targets. While the use of the UN flight as a distraction couldn't be ruled out, it is not entirely implausible to suspect that the Smart Alecs in Addis were indeed setting up the UN plane to be hit by our guns. The fact that the plane that came today was denied permit yesterday couldn't be a mere coincidence. Abiy's moves beg for action!”

“There was mobilisation going on. In Amhara region, for instance, it was an open secret - and this is a defining moment that the Ethiopian government has been saying is forthcoming. It is expected to be bloody. The objective [of the Ethiopian government] is to prevent the TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] from having a chance to govern Tigray - they just want to kill or eliminate the essence of the TPLF. The Abiy administration has said eliminating the TPLF will become a priority for the government.”

“Many Ethiopians are saying they want the prime minister to deal with the security situation. The conflict in Tigray is getting out of hands. The conflict has spread to the Amhara and Afar regions. There are ethnic conflicts in several parts of the country as well. The economy of the country is also struggling.”

“Abiy Ahmed's solution to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Tigray is to declare UN humanitarian Personnel in Addis [Ababa] Persona no Grata. Those of you who might've thought the guy in Arat Killo would be counseled into sanity must be disappointed. Sad but real.”
