Arab officials speaking to CNN:

Trump's statements were harsh and difficult to understand and comprehend, and we need more clarity to understand them.

We feel confused, worried and pessimistic about Trump's sudden statements about controlling Gaza.

The United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again.

Zelensky:

Today, the U.S. provides about 30 percent of Ukraine's defense capabilities. Imagine what would happen if we lost that 30 percent.

Zelensky:

NATO is a defensive alliance. It does not attack anyone. The Kremlin simply manipulates its people into believing otherwise.

Zelensky:

The elections will be held after the hot phase of the war is over and martial law is lifted. We are defending democracy, and elections are extremely important.

Zelensky:

Putin is not afraid of war with the West – he is afraid of economic collapse and internal unrest. If his economy collapses, if Russian society splits, he will not be able to hold on to power. That is what really scares him.

The US will announce its position regarding Israeli annexation of the West Bank in the course of the coming weeks.

"People do like the idea, but we haven't taken a position on it yet. We'll be making an announcement probably on that very specific topic over the next four weeks."

Hamas:

We confirm that we, our Palestinian people and its living forces will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship over our people.

We call for a firm Arab, Islamic and international stance that preserves the rights of our people and the establishment of their Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
