Poland’s Culture Minister says she hopes Poland will boycott Eurovision if Israel participates.

She emphasizes it is her personal opinion, not an official stance.

Israel’s Minister of Finance Smotrich:

"The only answer is sovereignty over the homeland regions of the Jewish people in Judea and Samaria, and removing the folly of the Palestinian state idea from the agenda forever."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas:

Recognition of a Palestinian state by London is a step towards lasting peace.

Trump says the US will aid in defending Poland if Russia keeps escalating.

Israeli opposition Leader Yair Lapid:

The unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Australia, and Canada is a diplomatic disaster; it is a harmful step and a reward for terrorism.

A functioning Israeli government could have prevented this.

Reporter: Should the Pentagon be part of deciding what reporters can report on?

Trump: No, I don't think so. Nothing stops reporters. You know that.

A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan.

We doubled Jewish settlement in the West Bank — and we will continue on this path.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

I want to meet with Trump again. We need to discuss many issues and mutual interests. We must restore relations in a good way.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

We confronted ISIS, we expelled the Iranian militia and Hezbollah from the region.

All of these acts should have been the role of the international community.

International community was unable to free a single prisoner or break the siege of a single town.

CBS: You believe the world failed Syria, and now the world should help rebuild it?

Ahmad al-Sharaa: Of course. I believe the world must not be complicit again in the killing of the Syrian people by slowing down or preventing the lifting of sanctions.

Macron:

Israel's security strategy against Hamas has failed. They killed all the key leaders. This is a success. But at the beginning of this war, you had more or less 25,000 Hamas fighters. The Israeli army killed probably half, but Hamas managed to recruit the equivalent.

You have as many fighters as at the very beginning, which is the best evidence that if we want to dismantle Hamas, the total war is not the answer because it's just killing the credibility of Israel.

Macron:
