I must say that, to this day, I still do not understand—though perhaps there are reasons I do not yet know—how a man who was under constant surveillance could approach the Christopher Street Day event unnoticed.

My question is: could this have been prevented? That is not a rhetorical question; it is a serious one.

And if the current legal framework is not sufficient to prevent such a situation, then we must consider changing the law.

I simply cannot understand that I can locate my mobile phone anywhere in the world—I can even see where my iPad is—but our security authorities are supposedly unable, or technically unable, to determine at any given moment where dangerous individuals of this kind are.

We are thinking of and praying for the victim who lost their life, for their loved ones, and for those who were injured.

They had all gathered on Saturday at a celebration of openness, diversity, and freedom.

People celebrating peacefully were attacked by an Islamist who wanted to destroy these values.

Around the world, governments are stepping forward and working hand in hand with the private sector to solve major national challenges. That has become the new global direction.

If we fail to embrace this great transformation—if we postpone investing in the future—Japan's technological strength and industrial foundation will weaken, and we will lose our opportunity to grow.

A nation that refuses to take on new challenges has no future.

Politics that only protects the past can never create hope.

We must break free from decades of excessive fiscal restraint and invest boldly at home. If we do not act now, it will soon be too late.

In my vision, I see neighborhoods in Gaza—neighborhoods for Israeli police officers, Israeli soldiers, and Israeli military officers.

I also see Israeli communities and settlements in Gaza.

If we're not there, Hamas will be there.

China is an important neighboring country. Since I became Prime Minister, my policy has consistently been to comprehensively promote our strategic mutually beneficial relationship with China and to build a constructive and stable bilateral relationship.

Precisely because there are concerns and challenges between Japan and China, it is essential that we engage in dialogue at every level and on every possible occasion to deepen mutual understanding.

We will continue communicating closely with the Chinese side while responding calmly and appropriately from the standpoint of Japan's national interests.

I criticize Netanyahu. He has done great things, but Hamas has not been defeated.

That promise was not fulfilled.

Do you know that the terrorists wet their beds at night because they're afraid?

They're afraid of the crazy Ben-Gvir. They're afraid of what I've done.

They're afraid we'll bring crocodiles into the prisons.

President Donald Trump is a businessman, but he is very naïve when it comes to Iran.

There is no point in negotiations with the Iranians. You have to speak through the gun sight.

We should encourage emigration from both Gaza and the West Bank.

My mother told me that when she was a child in the Irgun, people said it was very messianic to want to establish a Jewish state. Yet they established a Jewish state.

The ideas you call messianic are our strength. We returned here after 2,000 years of exile.

Some people may call that messianic, but I believe it's the right thing to do—to build a Jewish state.

Approval ratings are ultimately the judgment of the public, so it is not appropriate for me to comment on opinion polls or speculate about the reasons behind them.

Rather than being swayed by the numbers, I will continue to work steadily, sincerely, and humbly for the sake of the nation and its people.

As I mentioned earlier, many of the supplementary budget measures approved at the end of last year are still being implemented.

Japan currently has the lowest inflation rate in the G7 and the highest growth in real wages among the G7. That is something I want to communicate clearly.

John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to “leave town” until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929!

The Dumocrats will do it on day one, and can’t believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership.

Remember, stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH!

Whichever Party Terminates the Filibuster FIRST will be the Party that survives and thrives.

If the Dumocrats win this race, however, America will rapidly become nothing more than a Third World Nation!

Beijing calls the allegations baseless and "AI hegemony," defends distillation as a common industry practice, and urges AI cooperation instead of sanctions.

The dispute follows US accusations that Chinese firms used OpenAI and Anthropic models to accelerate their own AI development.

The Israeli military confirmed the incident but has not said whether disciplinary action will be taken.

Officials say the current response is too expensive and expect cheaper counter-drone systems to arrive in 2027.

The tools target 28 nm processes and can support 7 nm-class production via multi-patterning, though they still lag ASML in throughput, accuracy, and reliability.

ASML shares dropped sharply on the news and trading was briefly halted, while Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA also fell.

It doesn't close the EUV gap needed for leading-edge chips, but it's a real step in blunting US and Dutch export controls on mature and mid-range nodes.
