JD Vance has left for Switzerland to hold talks with Iran.

Iran’s negotiating team arrived in Zurich, Switzerland.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Israel should fully conquer the Gaza Strip. It should establish military administration there because there is no other workable solution.

Gaza should also be resettled by Israelis.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

If the challenge is a security challenge, then Hamas is obviously a far more serious threat.

But if the challenge is the arena of international legitimacy, then look at the damage the Palestinian Authority causes us.

Look at the damage being done to Israel through the Palestinian Authority's diplomatic and legal campaigns.

There are proceedings against Israel in international courts. There are arrest warrants sought against Israeli leaders. There are boycott campaigns and efforts to isolate Israel internationally.

The Palestinian Authority causes enormous damage to the State of Israel in the international arena.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

We have been fighting in Gaza for more than two years. Look at what Gaza looks like.

The world did not stop us. Why didn't it stop us? Because Hamas is a terrorist organization and nobody gives it legitimacy.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

What is a Palestinian state? It's taking Gaza, multiplying it by twenty, and placing it on the mountain ridge overlooking Israel's population centers.

There are enormous international pressures to establish a Palestinian state.

The danger there is enormous, and in a certain sense it is more dangerous than Iran, because it is close, it is here, it is within us.

First and foremost, we must prevent that national-security catastrophe.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Gaza War:

I think I had a very significant influence on the course of the war.

There were moments when the war would have stopped long ago, at various junctures, and I had to invest a great deal in persuasion.

My relationship with Netanyahu is very close.

There were moments when I had to use a veto and prevent what I saw as surrender.

Trump:

The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll.

Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair.

Iran's Ghalibaf upon arrival in Zurich:

I consider the oppressed children of Minab and all the dear martyrs of Iran to be watching my every action and behavior at every moment.

They see us, and they expect things from us.

God willing, I will not be ashamed before the oppressed martyrs and the Iranian nation, and I will return with my head held high to my comrades, whom I am counting the moments to see again.

Mark Levin attacks the Trump administration:

Stop trashing, smearing, bullying the little state of Israel!

Ukraine says it struck targets on both sides of the Crimean Bridge, including oil transport infrastructure in Russia's Krasnodar region and an oil depot in occupied Kerch.

It also hit military assets, including four S-400 radar stations and two Pantsir air-defense systems.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met in Cairo with Egyptian FM Badr Abdelatty, Saudi FM Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and US adviser Massad Boulos to discuss regional issues.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

Clause 13 of the Memorandum of Understanding is very explicit: the start of negotiations for a final agreement is conditional upon five specific provisions, including Clause 1 of the memorandum, which concerns a cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon.

We know that this clause has not been implemented, and the United States has either been unable or unwilling to ensure its implementation.

The Israeli regime continues to violate its commitments. This issue is the main subject of today’s talks.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

All provisions of the memorandum of understanding signed between Iran and the United States are in our favor, and the achievements of these talks and negotiations will become evident.

The $6 billion of our funds held in Qatar will be returned. Netanyahu is the first party dissatisfied with these negotiations.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

The United States has only one concern: that we do not possess a nuclear bomb. This is something that the late Leader repeatedly stated as well—that we do not want a nuclear bomb.

The Americans said, “Just put that in writing and sign it,” and we signed it.

Russian-installed authorities in Crimea have suspended fuel sales to the public and businesses following a major Ukrainian drone attack.

Fuel supplies are now restricted to government agencies providing essential and security services.

Officials said the attacks disrupted key supply routes, caused power outages in several areas, halted ferry traffic across the Kerch Strait, and temporarily closed the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia.

Tensions flared with insults and taunts, including the shout:

“Putin is also a f*ggot, he's proud of you!”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

What is certain is that we will never give up our right to enrich uranium, and the other side will have no choice but to accept it.
