Slovenia's Prime Minister Janez Janša on Palestine:

We must also be willing to ask difficult questions about how Palestine is discussed and used politically.

A majority position does not by itself determine what is right.

The right of a democratic state and its people to defend themselves against terrorism must be recognized and upheld not only in the words.

Civilian suffering is tragic and must be addressed, but it can never justify terrorism or the pursuit of political objectives through violence.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

Greece has established a durable and deep strategic partnership with Israel while at the same time maintaining strong ties with the Arab world.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Türkiye:

It is a delicate relationship. It's a relationship that carries the weight of history.

And indeed, given broader and regional challenges, the situation calls, urgently calls for a common understanding on how we move forward. An understanding grounded in full respect for international law and the principles of good neighborly relations.

After all, as I've said repeatedly, we cannot change our geography. We are destined to live side by side. And I repeat that the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea provides the only institutional framework to solve our only longlasting dispute concerning the delimitation of our continental shelf and our exclusive economic zones.

Colombia’s new government has cut diplomatic ties with Iran, saying the move was based on “hemispheric national security” concerns.

BIG: Saudi Arabia, Türkiye , and Pakistan are convening an urgent chiefs-of-staff meeting under their Mecca Joint Defence Pact after intensifying Houthi attacks on Saudi territory.

This is the first activation-level move under the pact, which treats an attack on one as an attack on all three.

The trigger: Saudi air defenses intercepted six ballistic missiles targeting Taif and Yanbu on September 24, with separate Houthi claims of hitting Riyadh and Aramco sites.

France has also offered troops, radars, and air defense for Yanbu.

No specific military support announced yet, any deployment requires a formal Saudi request.

Putin's envoy Dmitriev is in New York, reportedly to meet with Witkoff and Kushner.

WATCH: Israeli delegation went around the UN hall checking which delegations had left during Netanyahu's speech.

The last SR-71 Blackbird ever built has disappeared from its outdoor display at Edwards AFB.

NASA 844 — the final Blackbird to fly (October 1999) — was moved into a hangar earlier this year.

NASA won't say where it is or why.

NASA Administrator Isaacman recently showed a dark aircraft silhouette resembling an SR-71 while talking about getting "back in the business of flying high and fast again."

Asked if it was a Blackbird, he replied: "You sure that's a Blackbird?" NASA says it has "no additional information."

This is the most upgraded and best-preserved of the 32 SR-71s ever built.

A full return to flight would be extremely difficult — JP-7 fuel infrastructure is gone and J58 engines are unique — but using it as a high-speed research template is more plausible.

The plane that once cruised at Mach 3.2 above 80,000 feet is simply no longer sitting where everyone could see it.

Iran’s UN Representative on Netanyahu:

The UN was founded to preserve peace and uphold justice, not to serve as a platform for war criminals.

How can a person who is currently facing proceedings before two international courts for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide be allowed to be present in this assembly?

Does he belong at this podium to justify his crimes or in the dock of a court of law to answer for genocide?

Türkiye’s UN Representative on Netanyahu:

The fact that numerous delegations walked out during Israeli prime minister's speech is not a minor gesture. It is a resounding diplomatic condemnation.

The message is unmistakable. His words are discredited. His policies are rejected and his isolation is deepening.

The international community does not tolerate listening to a morally bankrupt leader who stands under an arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

His fabrications are desperate. Hollow attempts to conceal Israel's genocide in Gaza and its relentless aggression in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and beyond. No propaganda can erase the truth.

Thousands of civilians have been slaughtered, homes and hospitals reduced to rubble, schools deliberately targeted, and the humanitarian aid obstructed with intent. These are crimes that will not be forgotten nor forgiven.

Türkiye’s UN Representative:

Personal attacks and lies, no matter how loudly or frequently repeated, collapse under the weight of undeniable facts.

While Israel exports war, destruction, and instability, Türkiye builds peace.

And Türkiye remains steadfast in its support for the two-state solution, the only viable path to lasting peace. We will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Palestinian people until an independent, sovereign, and contiguous state of Palestine is established on the basis of the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Nepal's PM Balen Shah:

We have built a world with flawless logistics for war and broken logistics for food.

And this is not Nepal’s private misfortune. Ask Bangladesh, ask Bhutan, ask India, ask the Maldives, ask Pakistan, ask Sri Lanka, ask any other country in our region and you’ll hear the same account.

Hit by the climate we did not warm and again hit by the wars we did not start.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan defended the Mecca Alliance against criticism that Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia were its “first test.”

Fidan compared it to NATO, asking former U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye James Jeffrey how many times NATO’s Article 5 had been invoked. After Jeffrey answered “only once,” Fidan said it was unfair to judge a new defense alliance using a 10-year conflict as evidence that it does not work.

“Nobody criticizes NATO as a paper tiger. But when it comes to a newborn defense alliance, they point to a 10-year crisis in Yemen and say, ‘Look, this is not working.’ We have only just started.”

Zelensky:

The American side proposed organizing a trilateral meeting in the UAE.

We are waiting for proposals from the U.S. regarding the date.

Zelensky:

During our last meeting, Trump said "Ukraine will receive licenses for the production of Patriot missiles."
