Senator Graham:

I am certain that Iran’s refusal to destroy their enrichment capability will be soundly rejected.

Netanyahu:

In Iran, they name streets after me. Do you know that? Well, after President Trump, too, obviously, because he's leading the fight.

But they have this — I don't speak Farsi — but they call me ‘Bibi joon,’ beloved Bibi.

Netanyahu:

Hitler didn’t even say “Death to America, death to Britain.” I think he might have planned it, but he didn’t say it.

Netanyahu:

While we were fighting the physical military battle on seven battlefields, seven-front war, we were completely exposed on the eighth front — the media war, really the social media war...

We have to find ways to fight the battle for the hearts and minds of young Americans on social media.

We have a problem. I recognize it, and we have to get our act together.

Q: How do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran?

Netanyahu: You go in and you take it out.

President Trump has said to me — ‘I want to go in there.’ I mean, he said that publicly. He said it, and I think he’s right.

Netanyahu claims the 2024 beeper attack in Lebanon caused “no collateral damage.”

Netanyahu:

People tell me, “Bibi, you’re a king.” And I say, “I’m not a king. Kings don’t have to be elected. I have to be elected. Can I have your vote?”

Netanyahu says social media is responsible for declining support for Israel among young Americans, claiming foreign countries use “bot farms” to undermine “American sympathy for Israel.”

Netanyahu claims China supported parts of Iran’s missile manufacturing program and says Beijing should reconsider.

Netanyahu:

In the digital age we live in, people just scroll and scroll and scroll, and the sense of history becomes dim.

Netanyahu:

I think Mojtaba Khamenei is alive. What his condition is, it’s hard to say. He’s holed up in some bunker or in some secret place.

Netanyahu says “jealousy” and “envy” are among the reasons for antisemitism.

Netanyahu says some Arab states want to “strengthen [their] alliance with Israel” because that “deters Iran.”

The body of 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., 27, has been recovered off the coast of Morocco, U.S. Army Europe and Africa confirmed.

Key, an Air Defense Artillery officer, went missing on May 2 along with a second U.S. soldier near the Cap Draa Training Area while off-duty hiking during the African Lion 2026 exercise.

Reports indicate one soldier fell from a cliff into the Atlantic and the other jumped in to help.

Search operations for the second soldier — involving over 1,000 U.S. and Moroccan personnel — are still underway.

Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada registered draft law, proposing to recognize the Gagauz — a Turkic-speaking Orthodox Christian people numbering about 26,000–32,000 in Ukraine, mostly in southern Odesa Oblast — as an indigenous people of Ukraine.

The bill, initiated by five Servant of the People MPs led by Ruslan Horbenko, would expand the current list (Crimean Tatars, Karaites, Krymchaks) and grant the Gagauz enhanced cultural, linguistic, and educational rights, including Gagauz-language schooling.

The move follows FM Andrii Sybiha's October 2025 backing of the step, calling the Gagauz "an important bridge" between Ukraine and the Turkic world.
