Netanyahu on Türkiye:

Türkiye didn't lift a finger to help you in Iran.

We did. We fought next to your great soldiers.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

We forget how rapidly the world changes. Assad was supposed to be there forever. Syria today is on a different path - toward rebuilding.
 
Ben Ali of Tunisia was supposed to be there forever but a street vendor burned himself in protest & sparked an Arab Spring that toppled regimes across the region.
 
The outcomes weren't always what people hoped for. But the dictators fell - when nobody thought they would.
 
The natural progression of history is that the oppressed always wins. Even when you least expect it.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

In 1991 Mladić & Karadžić said there will be no Muslims left by the end of the war. But they ended up in the Hague.
 
Muslims of Bosnia are still there today, rebuilding & returning to ethnically cleansed areas, surviving a genocide against all odds.
 
You don't predict the future by who holds power today. You predict it by one simple metric: injustice doesn't last.
 
Israel tried to colonize Palestine for 78 years - with military superiority, British then American backing, superior technology.
 
But it still hasn't taken all of Palestine & is stuck in existential crisis, losing support because Palestinians keep standing in the way.
 
The real measure of power is not having weapons, but a people's willingness to sacrifice.
 
They sacrificed in Algeria - it became free. They sacrificed in Egypt - it became free. They are sacrificing in Palestine & it is destined to be free.

Trump:

We have the press. They don't want to know anything about soccer/football. They won't be asking any questions on that.

Nobody cares about that, right?

Trump rings the opening bells for the NYSE and Nasdaq from the Oval Office.

Trump on Iran:

We are doing very well with Iran. We are just not getting the kind of coverage that we should.

Trump:

I was with President Xi three weeks ago.

He agrees that we have the greatest military anywhere in the world.

Trump:

Go out and buy a Dell computer.

I have a son that loves their laptop. "I want a Dell."

We're going to get him that money back, one way or the other.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

Let me thank President Erdogan and his team for hosting us at this fantastic venue.

I am truly impressed by the hospitality extended to us by our Turkish hosts.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

Last year, European allies and Canada spent nearly 20% more on core defense than they had the year before.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

European allies and Canada are now on a trajectory to equalize their defense spending with the U.S.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

We will announce tens of billions of dollars in new contracts at the Defence Industry Forum on Tuesday.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

You could argue that Trump is the third POTUS since Eisenhower who has been able to bring about a situation where the Europeans and the Canadians spend the same as the Americans.

Senator Ted Cruz to Trump:

On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

Türkiye has one of the biggest armed forces in NATO, well trained.

Particularly in the last 5–10 years, you have rapidly developed your defense industrial base. You now have about 3,000 companies turning out the defense industrial output that we need to defend ourselves.

Ankara, Istanbul, Türkiye as a whole is really important. Your place on the map is important. Your leadership in NATO is important. The fact that you organized this summit in Ankara is evidence of that.

Reporter: The U.S. is splitting NATO, isn't it, rather than bringing it together?

NATO's Rutte: It is not. It is bringing NATO close together.
