    Mahjoob Zweiri “What we have witnessed in the past few hours is that they talk about an agreement on the first stage. It could be understood that Hamas wants to release itself from the pressure globally, including the United States. So, they are giving concessions on the first stage, which leads to 40 days of ceasefire and exchange of captives. I think 33 old and sick captives. And then moving on to other stages. But we are seeing that we are going back to the main conditions, which means we are still talking about the main principles [complete ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza] that Hamas talked about. As the time of some sort of agreement on the first stage came, the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to say actually, there is no agreement: We will go to Rafah regardless of any agreement. It reflects the divisions within the Israelis and crisis within the Israeli politics. On the other hand, Hamas has been more cautious. They do not want to show real progress made but they also do not want to say things have not changed. I think it's obvious some change has happened otherwise we would not expect [CIA chief] William Burns to be in the region.” 12 hours ago

“We stressed the unacceptability of this situation when the United States of America pours weapons into Ukraine, and we demanded an end to this practice. What the Americans are doing is pouring oil on the flames. I see only an attempt to raise the stakes, to aggravate the situation, to see more losses.”

“Criminals must be called criminals, brought to justice and sentenced. Pictures from Bucha disprove the belief that we have to seek a compromise at any cost. In fact, the Defenders of Ukraine need three things above all: weapons, weapons and more weapons.”

“We warned the United States that the orchestrated pumping of weapons from a number of countries is not just a dangerous move, it is a move that turns these convoys into legitimate targets.”

“We are stepping up our support for Ukraine. For the first time, the EU will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and equipment to a country under attack. We are also strengthening our sanctions against the Kremlin.”

“Ukraine has received security guarantees for abandoning the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal. We have no weapons. And no security ... But we have a right - a right to demand a shift from a policy of appeasement to one ensuring security and peace. The world has failed Ukraine because it's security architecture is beyond repair. The security architecture of Europe is almost destroyed. It's too late to talk about fixing it. Ukraine has been serving as a shield for eight years now. A reliable shield holding back one of the largest armies in the world.”

“We are very concerned by the reports of recent days - yesterday and the day before there was a sharp increase in shelling using weapons that are prohibited under the Minsk agreements. So far we are seeing the special monitoring mission is doing its best to smooth over all questions that point to the blame of Ukraine's armed forces.”

“In February, a complete field hospital will be handed over, including the necessary training, all co-financed by Germany with 5.3 million euros ($6.0 million). We are standing on Kyiv's side. We must do everything to de-escalate the situation. Weapons deliveries would not be helpful at the moment - that is the consensus within the government. There is no Russian veto-right for membership to NATO. Every sovereign nation that shares our values is free to apply for membership. But beyond this red line, there is readiness from the West to speak with Russia and to take its interests into account.”

“One of the main elements of our initiatives is consciously formulated very clearly and does not allow any ambiguous interpretations. We're talking about the withdrawal of foreign forces, equipment and weapons and other steps to return to the 1997 configuration. These include Bulgaria and Romania.”

“In terms of developing new weapons, there is no such concept of 100-percent completion in development, which means upgrades and tests of the weapons should be followed. … As North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has said that the country is developing many different weapons, including tactical nuclear weapons and a nuclear-powered submarine, the country is expected to continue missile and other weapons tests. North Korea is expected to stick to its existing stance that they will keep going on their way in developing weapons for the country's self-defense, and their weapons tests are not aimed at provoking other neighboring countries.”

“North Korea cares about China's response, but Beijing did not really criticize Pyongyang's latest missile test. This is like North Korea getting a 'green light' to continue its weapons tests. Unless North Korea conducts a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile or stages missile tests too often in a short period of time, China is likely to stand back and watch. North Korea is likely to continue its missile tests regardless of the results of the South's next presidential election, as they see it as an independent issue. The North's negotiation strategy toward the South's new administration would be presented in another way. If the candidate of the ruling liberal bloc is elected, North Korea is likely to insist on its previous stance that the South and the U.S. should first withdraw what it calls hostile policies against it. If the candidate of the conservative bloc becomes the next president, it is expected to stage a certain level of provocation to see the response of the new administration.”

“We cannot but be concerned about the prospect of Ukraine's possible admission to NATO, because this will undoubtedly be followed by the deployment of appropriate military contingents, bases, and weapons that threaten us.”

“Taiwan's armed forces are planning to arm the island into being a 'porcupine' - these weapons are spines to the island - and apply asymmetric warfare strategies, for example, using long-range supersonic anti-ship missiles and land-attack cruise missiles to threaten the mainland's coastal regions and warships, or using small Tuo Chiang-class corvettes and other patrol vessels to counter the mainland's large warships in maritime guerilla warfare. The Taiwan military wants to use these weapons to resist reunification by force and impede the PLA's amphibious landing forces.”

“Kyiv is itself building up its forces, Kyiv is being helped to build up its forces, Kyiv is being supplied with a significant amount of weapons, including modern high-tech weapons. The number of provocations is growing and growing significantly. What's more, these provocations are being carried out with weapons being supplied by NATO countries. And we are observing this with great alarm.”

“From now on, arms must be restricted in the hands of the state. The use of weapons shall be prevented outside of the state's framework. Even for those claiming to be the resistance to the U.S. presence. It is time for the people to live in peace, without occupation, terrorism, militias, kidnapping and fear.”

“North Korea was looking to use its weapons development as a means to make room for diplomatic manoeuvering as well as enhancing military posture. In a way, the North's recent behaviour is very predictable. They had signalled military actions and are now executing them step by step.”

“Because of their speed and varied trajectories, hypersonic missiles are hard to detect, track and defend against. Advancements in fueling are intended to allow Pyongyang to fire the missiles quickly, making them more difficult for other countries to preemptively target and destroy before launch. It is unlikely that North Korea has reliably developed all the technologies its propaganda claims. However, if Pyongyang manages to fit a nuclear warhead on even a rudimentary hypersonic, it would be a dangerous weapon because it wouldn't have to be extremely accurate to threaten the nearby metropolis of Seoul.”
