He said "the situation has become impossible to remain silent about," adding that there are "strong guardians over public funds" and pledging to improve how they are managed.

Al-Zaidi also directed oversight bodies to collect reports on the performance of government institutions and ministries to uncover cases of corruption or negligence.

He added that Iraq has endured years of "war, chaos, and combating terrorism," but said the government is now following a different path by strengthening the Iraqi state, ensuring its "monopoly on force and weapons," and preventing corrupt individuals from entering state institutions to steal public funds.

European leaders say they welcome the innovative use of drones [by the Ukrainian Armed Forces].

My immediate question was: does that also include the strike on the student dormitory in Starobilsk?

Do Western leaders welcome that as well? I haven't heard a single word about it.

If Ukraine is really capturing and liberating more and more territory—if it is truly winning—then Western leaders should simply wait.

If all of that is true, Russia's strategic defeat would supposedly happen on its own

None of the Ukrainian terrorist attacks have any impact whatsoever on the situation at the front. That's the key point.

No matter where they strike our infrastructure, those attacks have absolutely no effect on the battlefield, along the line of contact.

There are new proposals. For example, to stop strikes deep inside each other's territory.

It's obvious why that proposal is being made: our retaliatory strikes deep inside Ukraine territory are far more powerful, more painful, and, frankly, more destructive, causing serious consequences for the Kyiv regime.

In general, I want to say that these attacks on our civilian infrastructure are not carried out solely to inflict damage on us, although I believe that is also important to the enemy.

They are also intended to fuel an information campaign—or, more accurately, an information operation as part of the broader confrontation with Russia.

Their objective is to create uncertainty among us, undermine confidence in our own strength, and, ideally, divide Russian society.

They also seek to force Russia to suspend the advance of our troops, at least for a short time, in order to create conditions for starting negotiations on terms favorable to our opponent.

We will not give them that chance.

Do you think people appreciate what a fantastic job we did in building and operating the Great American State Fair at the National Mall, packed with happy people, and everybody loving it?

Ask yourself this simple question, “DO YOU THINK THAT OBUMA OR SLEEPY JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE DONE IT?”

THE ANSWER IS NO!

We are closely monitoring the attacks—particularly those targeting Lebanon—that seek to undermine the agreement which has brought a much-needed sense of relief to our region and the world.

We look to your support in ensuring that the provocations of the genocidal network, which cannot tolerate our region achieving stability and even views such stability as a threat to its own security, are not allowed to succeed.

The root cause of the tensions in the Middle East is the Palestinian issue.

Unfortunately, lasting peace cannot be achieved in our region as long as the occupation continues and Israel's ongoing land appropriation persists.

The gateway to lasting peace is a two-state solution.

An independent, sovereign, and territorially contiguous Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders must be established.

Despite our contributions, it is also a fact that in some cases the indispensable benefits Türkiye provides to European security are overlooked.

As one of the countries with a say in the development of the alliance's European pillar, we have the will to be included in all defense and security initiatives on the continent.

We expect your close interest and support, as parliamentarians, for Türkiye's inclusion in the defense and security initiatives announced by the European Union.

Excluding the capacity Türkiye possesses in the defense field due to narrow political interests benefits no one.

We must form, across the alliance, a security and defense network extending from Texas to Ankara — without any ifs or buts.

Highest Poll Numbers Ever. Even Higher than Election Day, November 5th.

This despite the fact that, IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!

I would like to express, as a leader of a country that has fought successfully against terror for many years and is now trying to put an end to terror, that we expect a lot from the alliance in this area.

We need to remove the obstacles in front of defense industry trade while balancing and equally sharing the benefits among our allies.
