Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

I very, very much hope that Netanyahu will stand firm against Trump.

He stood firm against Obama, he stood firm against other presidents, he stood firm against Biden, and he can stand firm against Trump.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

A thousand Lebanese mothers may cry, but not a single Israeli mother.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

During the flotilla affair, people told me, "Give them sandwiches." I said, "I'll give them sandwiches? I'll show them who's in charge."

Someone from the Foreign Ministry told me, "Give them sandwiches—it will look good to the world."

I told them: "You're talking to Ben-Gvir. They're supporters of terrorism. I'm not bringing them sandwiches."

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

With the Iranians, there is no point in making compromises and no point in signing agreements.

The Iranians need to be bombed, and then bombed again, and then bombed again.

And it's the same with Hezbollah—just keep bombing them, and then bomb them again, and again. That's how it works.

Anyone who wants to condemn me can condemn me. Let people around the world say whatever they want. I truly believe this.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir on Trump:

There is a certain naïveté here—an American naïveté.

Trump keeps attacking Italy's Meloni:

After spending Trillions of Dollars on NATO, Italy, and its Prime Minister, wouldn’t even think of becoming involved with the Islamic Republic of Iran and their very serious Nuclear Threat.

For decades, we defend them but, when tested, they are not there to defend us, and the rest of the World. Not good!

BREAKING: Initial reports of explosions in Doha, Qatar's capital.

Qatar's Ministry of Interior:

An internal explosion occurred in one of the factories in the Ras Laffan Industrial Area, with civil defense teams responding to the incident, with no injuries or leaks recorded.

Q: Did Trump miscalculate Iran's strength?

Syria's al-Sharaa: I don't know. Decisions of war are certainly made within a large team, and the American president is guided by that decision.

I believe that the course of this war and the outcome it produced lead us to conclude that there was a great deal of futility in it, and that it did not achieve its intended results and objectives.

I am very pleased that it has now stopped, and thank God that it has stopped.

Syria's al-Sharaa: I believe it is not in the interest of either Iran or the United States for this war to continue.

Q: But what about Israel?

al-Sharaa: Israel is part of the American decision.

U.S. and Iranian officials, with mediation from Pakistan and Qatar, are holding ongoing talks in Switzerland that are expected to continue overnight.

Discussions have focused on Lebanon ceasefire enforcement, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, nuclear deal issues, and implementation of the MOU.

U.S. diplomat said progress was made, all sides were generally satisfied, and the talks are helping build trust.

Senior-level meetings are expected to wrap up Monday, with technical teams continuing negotiations afterward.

Polish PM Tusk on Ukraine:

Zelensky is aware that these historical issues concerning our shared history, and decisions involving the glorification of the UPA through naming military units after them, are something that will not meet with acceptance in Poland, regardless of political affiliation.

I have consistently stood on Ukraine’s side in its war with Russia, and truly nobody will convince me that it should be otherwise, because it is in Poland’s interest.

It is Ukraine’s role and responsibility to respect its allies, especially allies as active and as indispensable as Poland, and to take into account mutual respect and sensitivities.

Trump:

Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool. I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing?

SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE! We will fix it?

Senator Graham:

To Lebanon, to the people in Lebanon, help is on the way.

Hezbollah has been terrorizing your country for a long time. That's about to end.

Zelensky to Poland:

We have a common enemy, and that enemy is Russia. We are definitely not enemies of each other.

The President of Poland needs to find the time and come to Ukraine. Come, talk, discuss all the issues, remove all the tensions.

Not everything will be solved at once, but it is the right thing to do. I always say that I am ready.

Zelensky to Poland:

We cannot be non-partners or non-friends with Poland, because we are neighbors. If you are not a partner, not a friend, then who are you?

Over the years and decades, that turns into what we have with the Russians — disrespect, aggression, and the radicalization of society.

Radicalizing society leads to what? To ratings. To political gains. It is a political struggle that can end very badly, with a very dangerous escalation.

I believe you cannot earn political points or political dividends from hatred, because in the long run it will lead to bad relations between countries and peoples.

Zelensky to Poland:

I remember exactly the moment when Andrzej Duda awarded that order.

It was a period when I had refused many awards—not out of disrespect, but because I said that during the war, awards should go only to our soldiers. I felt uncomfortable receiving them while our heroes were fighting on the front line.

I told Andrzej that it was uncomfortable for me. He replied: "Look, I am giving this order to your army, to your people, and to you—all of you." I refused until the very end, because it was not the award itself I objected to, but the whole process of awarding honors during wartime.

But it was clearly stated that this award was for the Ukrainian people. That's why I believe taking it back was the wrong step toward the Ukrainian nation and toward our army.

Zelensky on Trump and Putin:

Everything Putin says is manipulation. It is all about emotions.

And today there is a battle for Trump's emotions. If he feels positive, he may lift some sanctions on Russia.

If he understands that Putin does not want to end the war, he will return to stronger actions.

Zelensky:

I am not criticizing other families, but it is very important for me that my daughter studies here, in Ukraine.

It is important not to hear secondhand what your country is going through, but to be here during the war. To be here under missile attacks, like all our children are.

At the same time, I do not criticize those children who left with their parents.
