Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon:

I think that the U.S. is a strong nation, but they have to take action to defend themselves.

Not to wait for 9/11. Not to wait for another disaster to come to the shores of the U.S.

Iran's conditions, announced by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson:

— End US aggressive actions including naval blockade.

— End economic terrorism (sanctions).

— Ceasefire on all fronts.

— Release of frozen/restricted Iranian assets.

— Accept safe shipping lanes as agreed between the two coastal states.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha:

Since March 2025, Ukraine has agreed to a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire.

We call on Russia to finally do the same as a necessary step towards meaningful diplomacy.

Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. Russia must stop its aggression, accept a ceasefire, and engage meaningfully in negotiations.

Romanian President Nicușor Dan on Iran:

In terms of Iran, our position is clear. Iran must not possess nuclear weapons.

Iran must respect the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency and restore full transparency of its nuclear program.

Jared Kushner on Gaza:

Over the last decades, there’s been so many meetings on Gaza here at the United Nations.

And what we tried to do today was do something a little bit different. We didn’t talk about who was to blame. Nobody was blaming anyone.

People were just focused on solutions, not slogans, not political speeches.

Jared Kushner on Gaza:

We want to have a Gaza Strip that could thrive and reach its full potential. In order for that to happen, it must be fully demilitarized.

Argentina's UN official:

The Malvinas Islands (Falkland Islands), South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding areas are part of the national territory of Argentina, illegally occupied by the United Kingdom.

The illegal occupation by Britain of the islands is from January of 1833, when British forces occupied the islands, expelling legitimate Argentinian authorities.

This was at a time of peace and in violation of international law.

Argentina reiterates its full readiness to resume bilateral negotiations, substantive ones, with the United Kingdom.

Tony Blair on Gaza:

This new government cannot govern unless that infrastructure is systematically destroyed.

Hamas have agreed in principle that it should be, and that was a landmark agreement.

But our most urgent challenge now is to turn this agreement into a credible stage-by-stage plan, as we are doing.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

We made a geopolitical choice. We aligned ourselves without ambiguity with the West.

We did so with the United States and Israel, countries with which we share a deep affinity of values and a strategic complementarity.

That is why we reject the attacks by the Iranian regime against the State of Israel.

Spain's Pedro Sánchez meets with Zohran Mamdani in New York.

Iran's Security Council Secretary Rezaei:

Enough negotiation.

Act.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

We have raised the minimum wage by 66%. They told us it would destroy jobs. False. We now have more people working than ever before.

We have strengthened workers’ rights. They told us that companies would stop hiring. False. One in every two new jobs in Europe are created now in Spain.

We have walked the talk and invested massively in the green transition. They told us that it would make us less competitive. False. Today, 60% of our electricity comes from renewables, and clean energy is one of Spain’s greatest competitive advantages.

I could go on.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

Migration has made Spain stronger. Economically, socially, culturally, migrants work in our companies, contribute to our public finances, sustain our welfare state and enrich our communities. Migration makes us a better country. No question.

This matters because there are politicians on both sides of the Atlantic trying to convince working people that their problem is another working person — someone born somewhere else, someone who earns even less than they do.

It is one of the oldest political tricks in history: make people look sideways so they never look up.

French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:

Trump considers Venezuela and its resources to be his spoils. It is an extraordinarily casual imperialist proclamation.

And obviously, for people like us, that only reinforces the sense of urgency about non-alignment and distancing ourselves from the dangerous power that is the United States of America, which at any moment could drag us into its wars or make us suffer them.

French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:

Nobody seems concerned about why the threat from Russia appears greater today than it did some time ago. Why? Perhaps we should ask whether it has something to do with the long-range strikes being carried out by Ukraine.

Even though Russia is the invader of Ukraine, the fact remains that, in these circumstances, escalation is underway.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

The UN has become a useless organization that serves only to feed a caste of fatally arrogant parasites disguised as well-intentioned bureaucrats.

As Mises used to say, good people do not think about controlling the lives of their fellow human beings.

Those who were supposed to guarantee collective security and human rights failed at that task and, instead, allowed chaos, violence and international terrorism to flourish.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

The supposed defenders of human rights protected bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets.

They systematically voted against Israel while remaining silent in the face of Islamic terrorism and the genocide of Christians in Africa.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

If the Europeans had not engaged in their shenanigans, Ukraine would have kept its 1991 borders.

The Trump administration is preparing a possible 90-day ban on U.S. diesel exports to bring down record fuel prices before the midterms.

Trump is reportedly inclined to announce the measure by the end of the week, although the White House denied the report.
