Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

I absolutely love Giorgia Meloni. I love listening to her speak Italian.

Maybe this summit will end up being about Trump apologizing to her.

Who knows?

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

I was presenting the National Security Council awards to a man who's spent his whole life writing books about defense and security.

We got talking and, at our age, every conversation eventually becomes about the prostate.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

I've figured out what's wrong with me.

I'm sick with altruism. That's why I've sacrificed so many years of my life for this country.

I read in a book that altruism can actually become like an addiction. That explains why I do what I do.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

Social media is evil. I know it's bad.

I lie down at 10 p.m... and then I keep staring at Instagram.

Once you watch something, it just keeps recommending sharks.

I'm afraid of sharks.

White House:

Iran has requested a meeting this week.

Witkoff and Kushner will be flying to Doha for high-level meetings.

On the sidelines of those high-level talks will be the technical talks.

White House on Iran:

We are holding up our end of the ceasefire.

There were attacks on commercial vessels, and we responded.

Violence will be met with violence.

White House:

They want to abolish the police, and they want to abolish private property.

These are radical Marxist ideas that have never worked in the history of the world.

Qatar's FM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani:

Iran is a neighboring country. There must be understandings between us and it.

What happened is unacceptable — both against us and against the rest of our brothers in the Gulf states.

But in the end, we are all part of one region, and the solution must be a diplomatic one.

We want to see a prosperous region.

We want to see a prosperous Gulf and a prosperous Iran that cooperates constructively with the Gulf states, with a high level of trust and cooperation — instead of what these wars have left behind.
