Pastor at Trump rally last night in Coralville, IA:

"This election is part of a spiritual battle. There are demonic forces at play. But judgment is coming. When Trump becomes the 47th president, there will be retribution against all those who have promoted evil in this country."

Reporter:

You seem to give the Israelis more of a benefit of the doubt than your own president. Civilian casualties are mounting.

White House's Kirby:

They have published online maps of places where people can go or not go. That's basically telegraphing your punches! There's very few modern militaries in the world that would do that! I don't know that we would do that!

Belgium MP Marc Botenga:

When it was happening in Ukraine you said genocide, here (in Gaza) you are silent. You know what? There is a difference between you and me, not political views, but humanity.

Even Israeli politicians say they want to ethnically cleanse the whole of Gaza and you support and applaud these people.

I hope you can look in the mirror and not be ashamed. Today the EU is Israel's partner in massacre, stop being a partner in this massacre.

Yemen's Houthi Minister of Defense Mohammed Nasser al-Atafi:

Any Israeli ship you see, either capture it or sink it in the deep sea.

Iranian Defence Minister Mohammad Reza Gharaei Ashtiani:

The Red Sea is considered Iranian territory and no one can maneuver there.

All the countries are present in this region, but this region is our region and we dominate that region, definitely no one can maneuver.

Putin:

There will be peace in Ukraine when Russia achieves its goals.

The West gave Ukraine everything it promised, even more, for free. But this may end soon.

Russian Federation has destroyed 747 tanks and 2.3000 armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the beginning of the Ukrainian counter-offensive.

Currently, 244,000 mobilized people are in the special operation zone, 41,000 people have been dismissed due to health or upon reaching the age limit.

This year, 486,000 people have already been recruited into the Russian army under contract.

Why do we need another mobilization? There is no need.

In the name of God, the Merciful, here is the IDF speaker. Residents, the story is over!! We will not accept the continuation of the current situation, we will not accept inventions by terrorists in the camp from today, the future will be clean for the residents of the camp, a beautiful and honorable life! There is no power and no valor except in God!

Putin:

Russians and Ukrainians are one people, now there is something like a "civil war" going on.

Odesa is a Russian city , everyone knows about it, but they made up historical nonsense.

(citing Bismarck) Wars are won not by generals, but by school teachers and priests.

EU countries have largely lost their sovereignty and are making decisions to their own detriment. Orban and Fico are not pro-Russian politicians, but pro-nationals. The rest depend on the “big brother”.

Ukrainians are simply being pushed towards extermination. Ukrainian military themselves say it’s a one-way road.

Putin:

Turkish President Erdogan has a leading role in the settlement in the Gaza Strip.

Putin:

The whole world sees the difference between what is happening in Gaza and in Ukraine; there is nothing like that in Ukraine. As they say, “feel the difference”. Gaza is a disaster.

Turkish FM Hakan Fidan:

We have seen that many countries that previously abstained or voted against have decided to stand with Palestine. This clearly demonstrates the will of the international community to end the oppression.

Those who support Israel need to understand this picture well. But this is not enough.

We expect the U.S. to no longer obstruct the decisions to be taken by the United Nations Security Council. Right now, only the United States stands between a ceasefire and a massacre in Gaza.

Israeli army distributed leaflets offering monetary rewards to those who reported the location of senior Hamas officials in Gaza.
