I can't really see that we have anything to talk about with Putin in the near future.

I think it is a completely premature discussion.

We would like to get involved with Syria, including agreements about a return of Syrians currently based in Denmark.

Around 826 Syrians have returned voluntarily, but we need to make an agreement where we are able to forcibly send Syrians back to Syria.

We are also in the process of planning a ministerial visit from Syria to Denmark.

We will discuss today how we can create further pressure on Israel regarding the West Bank.

Denmark has long advocated that sanctions should be imposed against violent settlers.

Whether decisions can be made today is perhaps not so optimistic, but it is progress, and there is at least a little movement.

CENTCOM forces have redirected 62 commercial ships and disabled 4 to ensure compliance.

If we give the right to Russia to appoint negotiator on our behalf, you know, that would not be very wise.

I think Gerhard Schröder has been the high-level lobbyist for Russian state-owned companies, so it's clear why Putin wants him to be the person — so that actually, you know, he would be sitting on both sides of the table.

Our adversaries are not sleeping. So clearly they want to increase the influence in Europe.

We unfortunately already see this in sports organizations, where, you know, Russians are let to compete like nothing has happened.

We saw that this ceasefire that Putin wanted was only very cynical — to protect his parade, whereas they were actually attacking civilians in Ukraine.

Ukraine kept to the ceasefire, like previously offered ceasefires, unconditionally. Russia didn't really stand up to this.

Israel firmly rejects the decision to impose sanctions on Israeli citizens and organizations.

The European Union has chosen, in an arbitrary and political manner, to impose sanctions on Israeli citizens and entities because of their political views and without any basis.

Equally outrageous is the unacceptable comparison the European Union has chosen to make between Israeli citizens and Hamas terrorists. This is a completely distorted moral equivalence.

Israel has stood, stands, and will continue to stand for the right of Jews to settle in the heart of our homeland. No other people in the world has such a documented and longstanding right to its land as the Jewish people have to the Land of Israel. This is a moral and historical right that has also been recognized by the law of nations, and no actor can take it away from the Jewish people.

The attempt to impose political views through sanctions is unacceptable and will not succeed.
