Germany's Chancellor Merz:

Russia and its allies from North Korea to Iran are attacking not only Ukraine but even more aggressively the most precious accomplishments of the post-World War II era:

Our fundamental values of human rights, our democracy, our liberty, and the rule of law.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

Germany is embarking on the biggest modernization drive in its recent history.

We will commit over 500 billion euros by the end of the decade to strengthen our defensive capacities and modernize our military infrastructure.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

If I were Jensen Huang, I would put on my leather jacket, take a flight to Berlin, meet the German Chancellor, and tell him, "I'm ready to invest."

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang:

Every single company in the future will have two factories: the factory that is real and the factory that is digital. And the factory that is digital will be so real, it might as well be real.

When you create the digital twin of your company, of your car company, that digital twin might as well be real. And so, in the future, I believe that most people here in Germany will mostly work inside a digital twin of their company. They would build digital cars.

Those cars will have digital brains. The factories will have artificial intelligence robots building inside a robotic factory, building cars that will be robotic.

And everything will be completely software-driven. Everything will be completely AI-driven. So every company will build two things. They will build brains, and the brains that go into the products that they ship.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

We are fully committed to be one of the most advanced places in the world, not just in the European Union, but in the world, to work with AI and to integrate AI into our industry.

Iranian documentary filmmaker Javad Gharaei released footage he says shows the moment an Iranian pilot was found after his Yak-130 jet was shot down by an Israeli F-35 during the 40-day war.

The pilot had ejected over the mountains of Lavasan, northeast of Tehran.

NEW: Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, will travel to Tehran on Tuesday for talks with Iranian officials.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Chancellor Merz:

I've also heard you say that you want to find that balance between innovation and regulation.

There's nothing to regulate if the industry doesn't thrive.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Lebanon:

In Lebanon, we should annex at least up to the lines where we are positioned today.

And if Hezbollah attacks again, then all the way to Beirut.

And if it attacks again, then even beyond that.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Egypt:

How do we make sure Egypt doesn't attack us?

If they understand that the next time they attack, there will be no Sinai.

You saw Sisi come out on his own initiative and declare that he has no territorial ambitions and no intention of going to war against Israel.

I am not reassured by those statements.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Gaza:

The population of Gaza, unfortunately, has been educated to hate Israel. Therefore, we must cut off their hope.

That means taking the territory, leaving Gaza as it is and gradually encouraging people to leave.

Incidentally, I don't want to call it encouraging emigration.

I think that, internationally, it is better to call it "finally solving and rehabilitating the refugee problem" after 78 years, in Arab countries and elsewhere.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claims:

It's not that we have imperialist ambitions and are now embarking on campaigns of conquest throughout the Middle East.

We haven't started a single war in the entire history of Zionism.

We enter wars because we have no choice.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

We recently made an Arrow deal with the Germans.

We're selling them eight every month.

If we had 500 Arrow missiles available right now, the Germans would pay twice as much for them.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Türkiye:

I'm not at all sure that Erdogan's successor will be any less antisemitic or any less dangerous than he is. I'm really not sure.

Therefore, we must be prepared for a wide range of capabilities.

Türkiye has a very, very large navy, and we need to analyze the implications of that.

I don't want to go into the details, if you don't mind.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Lebanon:

Look at the northern border. It is not defensible because topographically we sit in the valley and Hezbollah sits on the heights.

What is the problem with explaining to Trump that we need defensible borders?

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Türkiye:

The big challenge for us is, for example, Erdogan's close relationship with Trump.

Even there, we are managing fairly successfully to prevent bad deals and ensure that the United States maintains Israel's qualitative military edge.

The United States is also obligated to maintain that through legislation.

IRGC Spox. issued a veiled warning about the undersea internet cables running beneath the Strait of Hormuz:

Seven major cables pass under the Strait of Hormuz, on which all of the world’s internet and commercial data depends.

We are pointing this out so the enemy knows.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

We are not closing our eyes to Erdogan.

You don't develop capabilities against Egypt, Türkiye, Jordan, Syria and every other country separately.

The great challenge in building military power is developing flexible capabilities.

We need to be very big, very strong, very independent, with the endurance to fight a long war alone.

We need to be the best technologically and capable of producing enormous quantities.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Trump:

Trump has developed a new method. It's called quantum diplomacy.

Quantum diplomacy means endless possibilities.

You can be my friend and, on the same day, the friend of my greatest enemy who wants to destroy me.

You are friends with both of us, supporting both of us.

You play across the entire field.
