German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

This Germany is the best Germany that has ever existed in history.

It is our common task to make sure that it stays that way.

A UN commission warned that Israel’s military operations in southern Syria—including raids, incursions and the detention of civilians—could amount to war crimes.

The probe said it had identified 49 Syrians detained and alleged that Israel’s expanding military presence violates Syrian sovereignty and the 1974 disengagement agreement.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

I would rather live in a world where there were no defense ministers and no armed forces at all.

Germany had armed forces for 20 years that were essentially there for international crisis interventions and missions.

But that world is over, because it is clear that there is a new threat.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

You know, there are still more Palestinian attacks on Israelis than there are Israelis on Palestinians.

NEW: Putin and Trump held a phone call.

Kremlin:

Putin and Trump exchanged views on the results of Witkoff and Kushner’s visits to Moscow and Kyiv.

Kremlin:

Putin emphasized in his conversation with Trump that Russia has no hostile intentions toward Europe whatsoever.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

The accusations today of the Foreign Secretary in the British Parliament were outrageous and also all false.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

We have a hostile Labour government in Britain that is consistently operating against Israel, and it has left us no choice but to respond to its hostile actions.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

The connection and right of the Jewish people to this land are extensively documented, more than any other people or nation in human history.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

Over 100 years ago, the Balfour Declaration of the British government was the one that officially recognized the historic right of the Jewish people to rebuild its homeland here.

That included the areas of the West Bank.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

The Israeli people massively support Jewish settlement in the West Bank, and they are against the establishment of a Palestinian state.

This is something the British government is trying to force upon Israel.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

The resolution of the Labour government is a very stark intervention in Israeli politics before elections.

It is an unacceptable attempt to intervene in times of elections.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

We did not return to our land after 2,000 years in order to lose it under the pressure of Islamists and woke people.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

We are shutting down the British consulate in Jerusalem.

We will expel British representatives from the International Gaza Support Center in Kiryat Gat.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

We will prevent 12 British elected officials from entering Israel.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

Those who act against Israel, Israel will act against them.

They will lose their influence and relevance in the region.

Measures against Israel will not remain without a response.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an age-old conflict.

The Palestinians have always rejected proposals to resolve it and have never abandoned terrorism.

NEW: Iran's IRGC Navy claims it captured a US unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz early this morning.

Trump:

We have a certain nation that wanted a nuclear weapon. They were very close to getting it.

Now they have no chance of getting it.

Nicaragua told the ICJ today that Germany "should have been aware there was a serious risk that acts that could amount to genocide were being committed by Israel" and failed to act.

Ambassador Argüello described Gaza as genocide "carried out publicly and live-streamed."

Germany argued Monday the case should be dismissed, calling Nicaragua's factual picture "inaccurate and distorted" while stressing its "unwavering support for Israel's existence and security."

The hearings this week are only on jurisdiction — whether the case proceeds at all.

A ruling is expected in about six months.

Germany is Israel's second-largest arms supplier after the US.
