BIG: French President Macron on the UK rejoining the EU:

If the British want to take a first step in this direction, I think it is very good news both for their country and for Europeans.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

France and Spain work together to promote peace, justice and respect for international law. We do so in Iran, we do so in Palestine with the recognition of the two states.

And I want to recognize President Macron’s leadership a year ago at the United Nations General Assembly, with that step forward that many countries took to recognize the two-state solution, which has also been echoed at this latest General Assembly — but not only in Iran and Palestine, of course also in Ukraine and undoubtedly in Lebanon.

Putin:

The partnership between the Russian Federation and Republika Srpska is based on friendship that has stood the test of time for many years throughout our history.

Russia and the Russian people and the Serbian people have maintained special relations. We will certainly continue our efforts to further develop our ties.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

For our part, we have blocked all unfriendly initiatives and prevented the introduction of a visa regime for Russian citizens.

Sarajevo is seeking to follow this path, but we will not allow this to happen.

Netanyahu:

We are in close contact with the relevant authorities in order to ensure the continuation of the safety of the passengers, in order to ensure their safe return home.

We are prepared for security systems to prepare against additional potential threats.

We are maintaining current situation systems, and we will update you according to developments.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to Putin:

I want to say directly that you have always been right and all your warnings have been fully vindicated.

Today, the actions of the West are absolutely obvious to everyone.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to Putin:

I am pleased that you are restoring Russia’s former might, establishing it as a global power.

This is a marketing display by China's AVIC, not a confirmed deal or delivery.

Azerbaijan already operates JF-17C Block III fighters and has shown prior interest in the J-10CE.

Uzbekistan is the latest confirmed J-10CE operator with real aircraft shown.

Putin:

Imposing some outside will on the Serbs, especially in violation of previously adopted international agreements, is something we consider unacceptable.

French President Macron:

Welcome back, if the British want to return.

The British have always been demanding partners, but our bilateral relations have continued on issues such as defense, security, immigration and many strategic matters.

I think it would be a good decision, and I think he is right to have that audacity.

Otherwise, we can see the limits for Britain when it wants to re-engage with us while remaining outside, because you cannot pick and choose among the freedoms of the Union. You cannot decide to take what suits you and leave the rest.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

I believe Brexit was an enormous loss both for the British population and for the European project as a whole.

Therefore, if the United Kingdom were to take a decision in the direction you are suggesting, Spain would certainly applaud it and once again open its arms.

French President Macron on China:

We do not think we should enter into a trade war or cut everything off with China. That would make no sense.

First, because we still have economic players working there, and second, because there are also technological innovations that we need.

So our approach is to maintain strategic engagement, while protecting and accepting the need to protect.

French President Macron:

The fight against antisemitism is one of the priorities of the Republic. It is existential to the Republic itself, and we will never accept antisemitic remarks. Never.

Q: Is there a genocide in Gaza?

Andy Burnham: I’m not saying that it is or isn’t at this point in time. That hasn’t yet been determined. We will take our lead from the courts.

French President Macron on the Ceuta migrant crisis:

Your government, your country and our Europe were the victims of an attack. Spain did not organize these crossings.

So I have a very simple reflex when that happens: when European countries face uncontrolled migration movements arriving on their territory, we owe them solidarity.

Spain suffered an attack, probably a multifaceted one. We can see from our analysis that there were information attacks.

French President Macron on the Ceuta migrant crisis:

I am surprised that many Europeans did not show Spain this solidarity when they themselves had benefited from it when confronted with similar events and had asked for it.

First, many people have returned to their countries of origin or transit, and that work must continue in close coordination with the Moroccan authorities. I understand that cooperation is going well.
