Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

I was in Brussels and there was no street lighting there. And I asked, "What's happening here? Why no lights?" And they said that that's because of President Putin.

But what does Putin have to do with the streets in Brussels?

Trump:

Why should perpetrators of FAKE NEWS, like CNN and MSDNC, be allowed access to a very sacred place, the White House?

Despite my big Election Win, almost 100% of “TRUMP” coverage is negative, and has been for years!

Turkish President Erdogan on Netanyahu:

The place for war criminals who have been issued arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court is not the United Nations podium, but the courtrooms where they will answer for the murders they committed and the blood they shed.

Turkish President Erdogan:

I said it before. I am saying it once again today.

We are determined to unmask the occupying Zionist mindset that considers itself chosen, sees itself as superior to all other people, and has no compassion, conscience, morality, or principles.

No matter what they do, we will not take a step back.

Turkish President Erdogan:

If those who commit genocide are not held accountable before justice, if they are not made to answer before the law and before history, the same brutality will happen again. Know that our children, too, will face the same human tragedy.

We, personally, will continue our struggle for justice until our last breath. Türkiye and the Turkish nation will likewise continue this fight.

Turkish President Erdogan:

The UN General Assembly has given war criminals the response they deserve.

The principled stance displayed by diplomatic delegations by leaving the hall has struck the face of the genocide network like a slap.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Although the genocidal criminals who massacred tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza and Lebanon are disturbed by us confronting them with the truth, praise be to God, we once again courageously voiced what is right.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Türkiye, with its conscientious, honorable, moral and courageous stance, has become a source of hope for the oppressed and has also inspired courage in other countries.

I wholeheartedly congratulate all the countries and leaders who, in the United Nations General Assembly hall and from its podium, have given voice to the shared conscience of humanity.

Turkish President Erdogan:

As Türkiye, we want it to be known that we will continue to stand with the oppressed and against the oppressor, no matter the cost.

Trump:

IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!!!

Trump:

FAKE NEWS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!! IT HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG, AT A TREMENDOUS COST TO OUR COUNTRY.

Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide:

My first engagement in politics was in the anti-apartheid movement. And Norway was quite an active partner in developing global policy against apartheid.

And at that time, it was important for us that we were totally against apartheid. We were not 50% against apartheid. We did not want some milder form of apartheid. We wanted no apartheid.

And sometimes we have to be very clear. And I hear people saying there are two sides to the story. Well, there are actually times where there is only one side to the story. One is right and one is wrong.

China's Consul-General in Osaka called Japan "the world champion of anti-Chinese sentiment".

Xue Jian said China-Japan relations are in an "unprecedentedly difficult phase" since 1972 normalization, blaming "deeply rooted prejudice since the Meiji Restoration."

He argued China is a partner, not a threat, and that Japan's greatest security comes from understanding China "as it is."

This is the same diplomat who posted a now-deleted threat implying he would "cut off the dirty neck" of Japan's PM over Taiwan remarks in 2025.

3) Non-military countermeasures exist for some airports if necessary, but Iran hopes it won't come to that.
