  • Daoud Kuttab
    Daoud Kuttab “Throughout this Israeli war on Gaza, there hasn't been a warning publicly made by the US that Israel has heeded. It is indeed unclear to what extent such warnings are just optics of putting pressure on the Israeli government while continuing to support its every move. In this sense, one should take with a grain of salt reports that the Biden administration is holding off one shipment of weapons to Israel to pressure it into halting the full-scale invasion of Rafah.” 10 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “The US must now use ALL its leverage to demand an immediate ceasefire, the end of the attacks on Rafah, and the immediate delivery of massive amounts of humanitarian aid to people living in desperation. Our leverage is clear. Over the years, the United States has provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.” 11 hours ago
  • Lloyd Austin
    Lloyd Austin “We've been very clear … from the very beginning that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Rafah without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battlespace. We've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment [of weapons].” 11 hours ago
  • Vuk Vuksanović
    Vuk Vuksanović “This visit [Xi Jinping in Belgrade] shows that Serbia has exchanged Russia for China went it comes to its main partner to bargain with the West. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine placed the Serbo-Russian relationship under close monitoring, so the government sees a benefit in playing the Chinese card more often now since it's deemed to be less provocative. The Balkans, and Serbia in particular, have become even more interesting for China now that one branch of the Belt and Road Initiative through Russia and Belarus was effectively cut off with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” 12 hours ago
  • Aleksandar Vucic
    Aleksandar Vucic “I told him [Xi Jinping] that as the leader of a great power he will be met with respect all over the world, but the reverence and love he encounters in our Serbia will not be found anywhere else. When it comes to cooperation with Beijing, the sky is the limit.” 12 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Rafah is now a city of children, who have nowhere safe to go in Gaza. If large-scale military operations start, not only will children be at risk from the violence, but also from chaos and panic, and at a time where their physical and mental states are already weakened.” 16 hours ago
  • Hani Mahmoud
    Hani Mahmoud “You cannot create a safe zone in a war zone. Every time people move from one place to another, they are in search of basic needs and … necessities that are becoming very hard to find right now.” 16 hours ago

“The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.”

“Prime Minister Netanyahu is the architect of the relationship with the United States, and he's the architect of his coalition government. He is manipulating both of them. As far as he's concerned, he's looking for his best options. I think he is already discussing and negotiating with President Biden about the price for not responding to Iran that some might expect or his ministers want. Now the price could be a number of things: one, more American support. More unconditionality of American support - definitely clearing criticism of Israel's indiscriminately bombing Gaza and so forth. Netanyahu will probably get more money, he will get more aid, he will get more American support.”

“The US cannot beg Netanyahu to stop bombing civilians one day and the next send him thousands more 2,000-pound bombs that can level entire city blocks. We must end our complicity: No more bombs to Israel.”

“I thought the US decision in the Security Council was a very, very bad move. The worst part about it was that it encouraged Hamas to take a hard line and to believe that international pressure will prevent Israel from freeing the hostages and destroying Hamas. It [the cancellation of a planned visit to Washington by Israeli top aides] was a message first and foremost to Hamas: 'Don't bet on this pressure, it's not going to work'. I hope they got the message.”

“Gaza is suffering a humanitarian catastrophe, and the situation is getting even worse. And we need immediate increases in assistance to avert famine, and our work to open a temporary humanitarian corridor by sea will help, but the key is still expanding aid deliveries by land.”

“I think what is slowly developing is global isolation and condemnation for Israel, it's developing into a situation where it could become a pariah state. Go back to apartheid in South Africa - that country was eventually suspended from the United Nations, for 20 years it wasn't even let to take part in UN activities. And I think it's that sort of isolation and global disdain that Israel might be facing, and it's exactly that that this weekend the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Prime Minister Netanyahu of when he talked about the possible Rafah offensive.”

“Our relationship with the US has always been one of partners, but not of a patron state. This is not the first time that an Israeli government has been required to make decisions contrary to the US government's position. Israel will not stop its war on Gaza until Hamas is destroyed and all of its captives held there are returned.”

“Israel's latest attack on al-Shifa Hospital has shown that, rather than eliminating Hamas, Israel is attempting to eliminate anything that walks or breathes in Gaza. Palestinians have been displaced from their homes to schools, hospitals and other protected facilities that have nonetheless come under attack. What's more no distinction is being made between the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, and the government officers simply carrying out their duties. Anyone who works for a ministry under Hamas and their relatives is considered punishable by killing. As long as the US and other allies, who have warned against a military operation in Rafah, take no action to back their words, Israel will do as it pleases. In a change of tactic, the US is now being used as a scapegoat by Netanyahu for any future failures in eliminating Hamas in Gaza. “America is now being blamed for not committing to Israel's self-defence [in Rafah] and causing it to fail.”

“There is definitely increasing heat between the prime minister and the president. But I think Biden is underlining a change of tone, not a change of policy. And that explains a bit why he sounds as if he's speaking from both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he talks about red lines, and on the other hand, he talks about continuing basically unconditional support. Biden administration made the mistake of making US support for Israel unconditional. But for more than five months now, Israel has gotten the support, the arms, and the money - but it has rejected the advice of the American president, and that's why he's getting a bit frustrated with the Israeli prime minister because he does not want to see - as he said - another 30,000 dead people in Gaza.”

“Forcing [the] USA to do airdrops of aid to Gaza as if [the] USA is no better than Egypt [and] Jordan is Israel's worst humilitation of [the] USA [I've] ever seen. I should add that [the] USA will do humanitarian aid airdrops to Gazans if the Israeli Air Force graciously agrees not to shoot down the American planes over Gaza.”

“One really has to look deep to see if there is any meaningful explanation for why the Biden administration wants to bypass Congress in order to expedite weapons to a country that is involved in war crimes. The move is morally scandalous given that the war has caused record damage and killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. But it is also politically suspect in the sense that why would you want to bypass Congress twice in the same month? What is the urgency to bypass your own guidelines?”

“We've been hearing from all the top Biden administration officials for weeks that it is time for Israel to move to a lower-intensity conflict. In essence, stop the mass bombing. Stop the mass deaths of civilians. So, in that context - knowing that is what they say they want - they are now selling to Israel the exaction munitions they need to continue a high-intensity campaign.”

“The world's foremost superpower of the past 70 years is being humiliated by Israel. America laid few red lines: No reoccupation of Gaza, which is now no reoccupation of Gaza long term; no indiscriminate bombing. And then Sullivan comes to the region and says, 'No, we understand'. Every time we talk about a spat, it involves Israel spitting and America's face-saving. It is not exactly an equal relationship. The patron continues to follow the orders of the client.”
