Netanyahu on Fox News:

Hamas is the one responsible for genocide. They would have killed every single Jew in the world.

The genocide charge belongs to our enemies. We are trying to fight this genocidal organization.

Netanyahu on Fox News:

Mamdani is tormenting his own voters.

Sudan: Sudan’s Army and allied Joint Forces claim to have retaken Bara and nearby towns (Umm Sayala, Jabrat al-Sheikh, Umm Qurfa, Gereikh) in North Kordofan, saying they now control the full Omdurman–El Obeid export road.

They report destroying 70+ RSF vehicles and easing pressure on El Obeid.

Netanyahu on Fox News:

If Iran attacks Israel—either directly or through its proxies, whether with ballistic missiles, UAVs, or killer drones—it will make a terrible mistake, because Israel's response will be very, very forceful.

Netanyahu on the Saudi nuclear deal:

Trump was absolutely right in stating that Saudi Arabia would get a civilian nuclear program in exchange for the normalization of relations with Israel.

I stress "civilian" because the last thing we want—and I'm sure the last thing the president wants—is a military nuclear program in Saudi Arabia.

Q: Which countries are you expecting to join the Abraham Accords?

Netanyahu: The ones that I want to join, I will not reduce the probability of their joining by exposing them here.

Netanyahu:

Everybody says Israel is isolated. It's not isolated. Many, many countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and even Europe are coming to us because they want to share our technology and benefit from our military prowess.

Q: Are you worried about losing the Democratic Party?

Netanyahu: I am very concerned with that. I think bipartisan support for Israel is very important for us.

Netanyahu:

I'm worried about the reasons that leading Democrats have given privately. One of them actually said publicly why they joined the radical fringe.

The reason is that their families have been harassed.

You don't want legislators taking their positions because of personal intimidation. That's bad.

Trump:

Thank you to Highly Respected Mohammed VI, the King of Morocco — Such a Great Honor!

I look forward to traveling the entire length of this Great Highway someday, hopefully soon!

Putin:

No country has an icebreaker fleet like ours, and no other country in the world has nuclear icebreakers except for us.

Putin:

We have never sought confrontation in the Arctic, but have instead invited others to work together in accordance with international law.

Putin:

Attempts to isolate Russia, even in such a sensitive area as defense and security, are a complete failure.

The President of the World Jewish Congress in Israel, Sylvan Adams, meets with Reza Pahlavi.

Trump:

Trump:

Putin:

In the western part of Ukraine, there are lands that Stalin gifted to Ukraine after WW2. Yes, it was Stalin who gifted those lands to Ukraine.

But he gifted them within the framework of a single state.

Apparently, it never occurred to him that a situation like today's could arise.

By the way, I am sure that sooner or later, Ukraine will lose these western lands.

What belonged to Poland, Hungary, and Romania will eventually, historically, return to its place.

There was only one guarantor of Ukraine's territorial integrity—and that was Russia. But they found it necessary, possible, and beneficial for themselves to declare Russia their enemy.

Putin:

We did not start any war, there is no aggression on the part of Russia.

We are responding to the actions of Ukraine, which has unleashed hostilities with the support of the West.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

Zelenskyy has attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing a sailor. A blatant UN Charter violation done at Israel's behest to drag Europe into its war. In calls with EU High Rep Kallas and FM Lavrov, made clear that what the freeloader in Kyiv did CANNOT GO UNANSWERED.

Brad Cooper, the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, recommended halting the U.S. bombing campaign around the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that it had achieved most of its objectives and that further limited strikes would have little effect.

His advice, along with warnings about dwindling air defense interceptor supplies, helped influence President Trump’s decision to pause strikes on Friday.

Meanwhile, Iran and Oman are negotiating a plan to reopen the strait, and with both sides largely suspending attacks, the conflict has entered a temporary lull while diplomatic efforts continue.
