Marco Rubio:

Months ago, we have seen strikes on energy vessels in the Black Sea.

And there's been complaints, a lot, because we have American companies calling us and saying, "Hey, that was our oil on that ship that was hit by Ukraine."

Now, I don't believe Ukraine intentionally targeted them, but those ships got hit.

And we already have a world that is facing an energy crisis because of what's happening in Hormuz, what's happening in the Red Sea, what's happening in different places.

We don't need any exacerbating situations.

And there's been frustration that despite these asks, that has happened.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

They chose to take the straits hostage. They would have done it anyway.

Imagine if Iran had a nuclear weapon.

At that point, they could say, "And by the way, we own the Strait of Hormuz, and you guys can't do anything about it because we won't just hit ships. We'll use a nuclear weapon against you if you try to do anything about it."

Marco Rubio:

I think traditionally the American political class thought that peace in the Middle East, the core central issue, is the Palestinian question.

It's an important issue. It's not irrelevant. I'm not saying it's irrelevant.

But I think what President Trump has exposed is that the number one driver of instability and war and conflict, and the number one obstacle to peace in the Middle East, is the Islamic regime in Tehran.

Marco Rubio on Ukraine:

Trump does not like to see this image of a ballistic missile hitting an apartment building in Kyiv and innocent civilians being wiped out as a result of it.

He doesn't like that either.

That's why this has been so frustrating to try to get resolution to it.

Marine Le Pen:

Behind every looted business lies the work of entire lives.

Behind every police officer assaulted, behind every public servant threatened, it is the Republic itself that is attacked.

France cannot, must not, and will never become accustomed to such scenes.

Marine Le Pen:

After never being heard, perhaps not even listened to, the fears, suffering, and complaints of the French people have turned into exasperation and sometimes even anger.

There are millions of French people who are angry, but who do not smash anything, loot anything, or burn anything.

I firmly condemn the exploitation of this anger by political forces that encourage violence.

I equally condemn the hijacking of this anger by thugs who spread chaos throughout the cities of France.

Marine Le Pen:

The first principle I will apply is responsibility, with the rule: the rioter pays.

Whoever breaks the law must answer for their actions. Whoever causes damage must pay for it.

Anyone who attacks public property, businesses, or representatives of the state must know that the Republic will not back down.

Justice must be swift and effective, and criminal and financial penalties must be genuinely enforced and deliberately deterrent.

Netanyahu on Britain:

Look at what they do in Islamist Britain now.

Do you know that 3,000 Brits have been brought to the dock, put on trial for tweeting this or that, and quite a few of them have gone to jail?

Netanyahu on Europe:

I really get pissed off with them.

You don't have to bend to the winds of fashion of Islamist constituencies and the lunatic left.

Stand up. Be a leader. President Trump is a leader. Be a leader!

They're not leaders. They're so weak and passive, and they're basically trying to appease the worst fanatics in their realm.

Netanyahu on Europe:

Europe! These are the same countries who are smashing us at the UN, vilifying us.

"You lost the moral high ground. You stole the land."

And then they come to me: "Hey, listen, can you help us with this anti-terrorist effort? Can you help us with this or help us with that?"

Netanyahu:

They say, "We lost the moral high ground." I heard somebody say that the other day.

No, no. The moral high ground is when you defend your people against monsters, and when you do so, trying to minimize civilian casualties.

Netanyahu:

Now we're being told, "Oh, but you took stolen land."

No, it's not. It's our land. It's our land. It's been the land of Israel for thousands of years.

People forget the facts of history.

Netanyahu:

We're defending ourselves against Iran and its monstrous offshoots, but in so doing, we're also defending America, defending civilization.

Because these are barbarians and they want to go after you.

Netanyahu:

America has no greater ally than Israel.

And in fact, if you look around the world, you have no fighting allies. That's a fact.

Netanyahu:

We recognize that America is our senior partner. It's very clear.

Nobody says Israel is a superpower. America is a superpower.

French President Macron refused Interior Minister Laurent Nunez’s resignation following violent protests across France.

Nearly 2,400 people were arrested, 1,000 police officers injured, and 1,500 businesses targeted.

Nunez admitted security failures, but Macron kept him in office to maintain stability and promised accountability.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Germany:

Nothing pains me more, frankly, than to see one of the most technologically advanced countries to be left so far behind in technology.

And I think the reason for that is this: maybe it's the European way to overthink everything.

And so, so I think, I think, one, Germany has so much, so much talent. Just get to work.

Macron Appeals for Calm After France’s Worst Unrest in Years
