  • Tal Beeri
    Tal Beeri “So far, the IDF has not struck Hezbollah's significant systems. Even if the government pursues a diplomatic agreement, it will only postpone the war that will break out whenever Hezbollah chooses and on its terms-by my estimation, no later than the end of 2026. No political or diplomatic agreement will prevent Hezbollah from continuing to operate. Any such agreement only means buying time, with Israel being the only side likely to adhere to it, while Hezbollah waits for an opportune moment to initiate a full-scale confrontation.” 7 hours ago

    Benjamin Netanyahu “If we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. If we need to, we will fight with our fingernails. But we have much more than fingernails.” 14 hours ago
  • Sam Rose
    Sam Rose “People are petrified. People have been fearing this for a long, long time and it is now upon us. There is constant bombardment. There is smoke on the horizon. There are people on the move. Israel is subjecting Gaza to a medieval siege in a scorched earth war. No aid has come into Gaza now since Sunday. No aid, no fuel, no supplies, nothing. And we really are now down to our last reserves. We have a few more days of flour that we can provide. But everything else will start to shut down very soon without fuel, without water. So the situation is really desperate.” 14 hours ago
  • Shirley Yu
    Shirley Yu “Both trade and Russia are non-negotiable for China. Macron could not achieve anything [on those fronts]. Macron shares one vision in common with Xi, which is that the US hegemony - including the quest for Europe's allegiance to the US's foreign policy - must yield to a multipolar global order by accommodating the rising powers' interests and concerns. Macron's recent visits to India and Brazil also prove that France wants to stay at the forefront of that global shift.” 14 hours ago
  • Jason Straziuso
    Jason Straziuso “The food and water and medical supplies situation is critical and if this continues, then we move towards catastrophic, or even more catastrophic, consequences from the situation that we now see. International Committee of the Red Cross is constantly asking Israeli officials to allow access to humanitarian goods following the shutdown of the crossings. The Israeli officials know that we are desperate to bring in more supply trucks which we have waiting to cross the border as soon as they're able to. There's conversations also taking place about the need to spare civilian lives - no targeting of civilians, no targeting of civilian objects, meaning buildings, schools, medical facilities. Those talks have been happening for months.” 15 hours ago
  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “Something incredibly important is happening in the world today. Israel is getting a beating around the world, while Palestine is getting a beating in the Middle East. Palestine the cause - whether it's at the United Nations or Western capitals or university campuses - is certainly gaining ground.” 15 hours ago

“The Ethiopian side has been saying that they are open to assist the UN [in] deliver[ing] aid … [while] the UN has been accusing the Ethiopian side of preventing them from delivering aid … the allegations between them are black and white. So this was expected to come. It's been going on since day one.”

“The UN chief has pursued a very quiet, patient diplomacy … not saying too much, at least initially in public, not condemning it too much, because he thought he could nudge [Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed] in the right direction. [But] that strategy has clearly not worked.”

“The unilateral announcement of Barkhane's withdrawal and its transformation ignored the connection that binds us, the UN, Mali and France, on the front lines of the fight against the factors of destabilization. This new situation lead the Government to explore ways and means to better ensure security, independently or with other partners, so as to fill the void that will inevitably be created.”

“The UN continues to advocate to all parties in Syria to ensure all civilians are afforded their rights, and that any returns are fully informed, voluntary, and dignified. It remains the UN's position that conditions in Syria are not conducive for large-scale, organized returns. The UN is not in a position to make security guarantees and has not made any such guarantees to people living in Rukban.”

“We are surprised the UN is involved in such activities in areas which are really not safe at all. The Syrian regime is not trustworthy. We can't trust the regime with these people. We think the UN in Syria is failing to properly inform Syrians of the situation and their activities in returning Syrians. The research shows a pattern with which the regime treats people coming back from Rukban. These people are not coming back to their homes, they're going to their death. The UN at this point in time have the responsibility to inform people that it is not safe to return, rather than facilitating their return. When you're left between two choices - of either staying in a camp and dying from starvation or cold, or going to Assad detention centres and dying under torture - they choose the lesser evil.”

“Today the UN is like a retired superhero who has forgotten what he could do. He considers himself a burden, a weak, frail, useless old man whose life was in vain. [Russia fueling the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine and Russia's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula] Isn't it evidence of an international crime? Isn't it proof of impunity and disrespect for international law? Moreover, the Russian Federation itself officially declares it. And it forces our citizens of Ukraine to take part in the elections to the Russian parliament. And if the UN does not react efficiently and strongly to this, is that proof that it is too late to revive the UN?”

“The democratic government of Taiwan should be allowed to participate in an equal and dignified manner within the UN system. There is absolutely nothing in General Assembly Resolution 2758 which prevents this inclusive approach, and this resolution affords nothing to hide behind, as it expresses no position on Taiwan. As a people-centric institution, the UN cannot ignore the Taiwanese people or continue to use their nationality to exclude them from attending public meetings or public tours at its headquarters. The shameful silence must end.”

“Taiwan's international response facilitated cooperation and implementation of an effective sterile travel corridor between Taiwan and Palau. We encourage the UN system to accept Taiwan as a valuable contributor to our collective efforts and strongly advocate for Taiwan's participation in the UN system... The surgeonfish represents a unique characteristic. They fish to graze and roam on the reef alone, eating algae, but once danger lurks, they all swim quickly from wherever they are along the reef and come together in a large school, resembling an intimidating ocean animal to provide safety and security for all. [The international community should] act like the surgeonfish and come together, including Taiwan. Taiwan's 23.5 million people must also be given a voice as our UN Charter states. We the peoples of all nations working together can overcome the challenges of our time, from COVID to climate, and act with integrity and resolve to leave a better world for our children.”

“We're opening a new era of relentless diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways of lifting people up around the world... Today, many of our greatest concerns cannot be solved or even addressed by the force of arms. Bombs and bullets cannot defend against COVID-19 or its future variants... We are not seeking a new Cold War or a world divided into rigid blocs... We will choose to build a better future. We, you and I, we have the will and capacity to make it better. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to waste any more time. We can do this.”

“One can argue that since the United States now has about 15 percent of the world's GDP [gross domestic product] that its contribution to the UN should be smaller and that other countries - for example, China - should increase their effort.”

“China has been imposing its One China Principle throughout the international community, forcing governments, international organizations, academics, business, even NGOs or Hollywood throughout the world to assert its fictitious claim that Taiwan is part of PRC [People's Republic of China]. However, the reality is, Taiwan is not, nor has it ever been, a part of PRC. So, only Taiwan's democratically elected government can represent its 23 million people on the international stage, including the U.N. system.”

“UN does not engage in acts of recognition of governments. That is a matter that's done by member states, not by us. From our standpoint, regarding today's announcement, only a negotiated and inclusive settlement will bring sustainable peace to Afghanistan. The UN is committed to contribute to a peaceful solution, promote the human rights of all Afghans, notably women and girls, and provide life-saving humanitarian assistance.”

“I fear that we will soon hear also that the NLD [National League for Democracy] party could be disbanded. This is an attempt to promote legitimacy against lack of international action taken. I have to make clear that the U.N. does not recognize governments, so it's up to the member states.”

“If war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the US might recognize Taiwan, but if there is no conflict, it [recognition] could drag out for a long time. Taiwan has no hope of joining the UN without US support. Acceptance to the UN would be the end of Taiwan's troubles.”

“This was a body created [by the UN] to help reach a consensus and bring about an agreement. They [the delegates] were meant to come up with a constitutional framework for elections to be held in December but they are deeply divided. Despite an interim government being appointed in February, each side was putting forward a different candidate. Libya is still divided over how to hold the elections in December.”

“The two ambassadors going back to their posts means more dialogue going forward. Diplomats will tell you you have to be realistic here. Putin has been in power for over 2 decades so you are not going to change how he operates, or how he runs Russia. What you can try and do is to manage that relationship. What the Russians always want is to maintain a seat at the talk table. they are permanent UN Security Council members and they are proud of that. Putin seems very comfortable in that position and it seems he likes the recognition that sitting down with Biden gives him.”
