Netanyahu on Iran:

Trump said a few days ago: "We are ready to finish the job."

He said: "We are ready to finish the job, but we will do it only with you, the State of Israel."

And that is exactly what we will do.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

In recent days, we have identified attempts by our enemies, led by Iran and its proxies, to carry out terrorist attacks that would influence the results of the elections in Israel.

Netanyahu:

This is my commitment, the commitment of my colleagues here, of all of us, and now it is also your commitment:

To ensure Israel's eternity, to overthrow the regime, to eliminate the axis of evil once and for all, and to bring security, peace and prosperity to the State of Israel.

We have the strength to do it. We have the spirit to do it.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

As the prime minister and I have made clear, Israel will not withdraw from the "security zones" in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

King David crossed the Jordan and defeated the enemy in the decisive battle.

From then until today, we have been fighting the source of evil, from the Ammonites then to Iran today.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir:

The IDF is stronger than ever. Our enemies are weaker and more battered than ever.

We will not allow our enemies to recover and raise their heads.

We will continue to act against enemies and threats and thwart them as they emerge.

Iranians have set up a mock prison cell in Tehran, with a figure of Trump behind bars.

Q: Steve Witkoff called Putin a humanitarian. Do you agree with that?

JD Vance: I agree with Steve Witkoff saying something nice to a person who just released an American hostage.

Q: Do you have concerns about Netanyahu's leadership?

JD Vance: Trump's endorsement is ultimately what matters. I'm going to be focused on the midterm elections.

Mitt Romney:

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution.

Zelensky is in good company.

JD Vance:

There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Trump.

JD Vance:

I've endorsed one foreign candidate for election in my entire life, and it didn't go particularly well, as much as I'm very much an admirer of Prime Minister Orbán.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Greece:

In Greek domestic politics, a dose of anti-Türkiye rhetoric is required.

It’s like aspirin. Without Türkiye, Greek domestic politics could not exist.

Every time we meet Greek governments, we find that they know how to approach the issue, but they cannot bear the political cost.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Greece:

Many consider the ‘casus belli’ a threat of war. That is the Greek version. We, however, have not characterized it as a ‘casus belli.’

It is a 1995 declaration of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, not a law.

This preventive declaration has helped preserve peace to this day. It does not constitute a threat of war.

Greece has never explicitly stated that it does not intend to [extend to 12 miles] before the issue is resolved with Türkiye.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Greece:

The issue is solvable. Only President Erdogan has the political legitimacy needed to mobilize the political will required to solve the problem.

I advise my Greek friends: while he is still there, seize the moment and work with him.

Elon Musk:

Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets …

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Southern Cyprus:

I want to recount President Erdogan’s message to Mitsotakis in New York:

“I would prefer that you buy electricity from us rather than transport it from 2,000 kilometers away, spending over €2 billion of European funds.

From just 70 miles away, from mainland Türkiye, I can provide water, electricity and natural gas.”

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Libya’s approval of the 2019 maritime boundary memorandum:

The point we have reached is a diplomatic success of the foreign policy we conduct under the leadership of our President. It must be described as such.

This is an agreement shaped by the principles of our foreign policy, one that supports peace and stability and is based on a win-win principle.

Of course, our Libyan brothers’ trust in Türkiye and the stability it will bring to the Eastern Mediterranean are extremely important.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Libya’s approval of the 2019 maritime boundary memorandum:

Some react because they feel they have to react. Others genuinely have strategic problems with this issue.

But both legally and politically, this is an entirely legitimate agreement. There is no need to debate it.

In fact, according to our lawyers, the agreement signed in 2019 was technically already in force. What parliament did was an act of acceptance, not ratification.

Our goal, as everywhere else, is to bring stability, peace, tranquility and happiness to the Mediterranean.

Our diplomacy has no other objective.

EU's von der Leyen gets community noted after she "deeply regrets" the maritime agreement between Türkiye and Libya.
