Albanian PM Edi Rama in Israel:

Albanians didn’t gather in rallies of hate against Israel.

They didn’t project their anger on Jewish visitors.

This stands in sharp contrast with what happened in many other parts of Europe.

Our country stands unshakeably against anti-Semitism just as it stands against Islamophobia.

Albanian PM Edi Rama in Israel:

We stood by hostages and their families and against the neo-Nazi butchers of Hamas, whose actions have brought unbearable suffering not only for Israelis but for a very long time for our Palestinian sisters and brothers.

They were dehumanized by Hamas to the point of reduction to war instruments, turned into a defensive infrastructure of human flesh, unseen and unheard in the history of barbarism.

Albanian PM Edi Rama in Israel:

While we pray for the countless souls that have lost in the last days in the fires of Khomeinism, we hold hope and conviction that the days of Tehran's killers are coming to an end.

BREAKING: UAE says the Emirates reaffirm their commitment not to allow their airspace, territory, or waters to be used for any military actions against Iran.

Trump:

I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there.

Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.

Carney:

We are starting to fundamentally transform our economy.

Building a stronger, more resilient, more independent Canada.

Reporter: Are you offended by being called “Governor?”

Carney: I am not going to comment on every tweet or truth or comment from whoever, I can handle it.

But I do think that the point about respecting our troops is fundamental.

Rutte on Trump:

President Trump is doing a lot of good stuff, I believe.

The 2% reached by all NATO members would never, ever have happened without Trump.

Rutte on Trump:

I think Trump is very important to NATO.

He is totally committed to NATO.

Rutte:

I don't mind Trump publishing text messages.

Trump:

Just recovered the last Hostage body in GAZA. Thus, got back ALL 20 of the living Hostages, and ALL of the Dead! AMAZING JOB!

Most thought of it as an impossible thing to do. Congratulations to my great team of Champions!!!

Rutte:

If anyone thinks that the EU or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming.

You can’t. We can’t. We need each other.

CENTCOM:

The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed to the Middle East to promote regional security and stability.

Albanian PM Edi Rama at Israel's Knesset:

If Mossad had not yet informed you, I can inform you that my knees are trembling.

I knew that speaking here would feel like a speech delivery exam in front of one of the top five speakers in the world, Prime Minister Netanyahu.

I’ll do my best, dear Bibi, to survive your judgment, fully aware that I am merely the second speaker worldwide after Trump whom you simply cannot avoid listening to.

Rutte on the Arctic:

I really feel Trump deserves some defense; he was the one during Trump 45 who said there was an issue with Arctic security.

And he said it again when he came back into office in January.

I think he is right; there is an issue with security.

Albanian PM Edi Rama at Israel's Knesset:

During the Holocaust, when the Nazi envoy demanded lists of Jews and their gold, our representatives replied:

‘You can have the gold, not the Jews.’

The gold was theirs to take; the Jews were ours to protect.

That is not legend; that is Albania.

Rutte:

I know that America greatly appreciates all the efforts that have been made in Afghanistan and acknowledges the many casualties of non-American allies.

Trump’s threats over Greenland alarmed U.S. allies and Congress, with some Republican and Democratic lawmakers warning senior officials that any military invasion without congressional approval could prompt an impeachment investigation.

Lawmakers privately urged the administration to back off, fearing Trump was moving toward the use of force without consulting Congress.

Albanian PM Edi Rama at Israel's Knesset on Palestine:

They failed to recognize that the jailer of Gaza is Hamas, no one else but Hamas.

Until Hamas is fully dismantled, its two million prisoners will never be truly free and no peace can endure.

I wish that a few of the tunnels of terror Hamas built—where the hostages taken on 7th of October were killed, raped, and tortured—will be preserved as defining testimony in favor of lasting peace among the two future states.

NATO's Rutte:

We are all supportive of a defense industry and that is vital, but it cannot at the moment provide nearly enough of what Ukraine needs to defend itself today and to deter tomorrow.

Please keep Ukraine’s needs first in focus.

We all know that without this flow of weaponry from the US we cannot keep Ukraine in the fight. Literally not.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar on Türkiye:

We had very good relations with Türkiye in the past, but in recent decades we have seen these relations deteriorate.

There is no need for normalization with Türkiye because we already have relations with Türkiye. We have had diplomatic relations with Türkiye for decades.

Unfortunately, in recent times the relations have worsened. This was their choice. I will not speculate here about the reasons. This is simply a fact.

We have no interest in making our relations with Türkiye worse than they already are.

About a month ago, senior officials from both sides met in order to create a mechanism that could be useful in such situations.

In the past, my colleague, the foreign minister of Azerbaijan, conveyed some messages from us to them, but recently this stopped.

I hope that we will reach a different and better future in our relations with Türkiye, but this depends entirely on the Turks.
