"Israel continues to show its true character as a colonial power that will not hesitate to continue occupying land when the chance is there," Bader Al-Saif, founding president at Al-Saif Consulting and assistant professor at Kuwait University, told Sputnik. "So this is a very alarming development."

"The Israelis have already been striking Syria left and right, dismantling military infrastructure and other facilities and sites," Qarmout said. "So the Israelis want to make sure that the next Syrian government or the new Syrian regime will start from scratch."

"They're trying now in Syria to further weaken Hezbollah" said the expert and to "minimize Iranian influence in Syria and also in the region more broadly."

"Ultimately, the decisions about the composition of its military force, those are decisions that the Ukrainians have to make for themselves. What we have made clear is that if they produce additional forces to join the fight, we and our allies will be ready to equip those forces and train those forces to enter battle," Miller told reporters.

"We call upon the UN and the Security Council to shoulder the responsibility in maintaining international peace and security and to stop, put an end to the Israeli attacks on Syria, to not allow Israel to benefit from the transition that the Syrians are doing now in their country for their occupation agenda," the Syrian diplomat said.

"Me and my team here, we are continuing our work as a part of the Syrian state institutions, and we are part of the Syrian people," the diplomat said.

"I warmly congratulate you on the 10th anniversary of your establishment. Over the past decade, Sputnik has traveled a glorious path and established itself as a serious domestic media outlet broadcasting to foreign audiences," he wrote in his congratulatory telegram.

"Israeli ambassador sent a letter saying that these are temporary decisions, given the vacuum, which occurred there. And then Netanyahu said about the Golan Heights as an integral part of Israel. But now we don't know what part of Golan Heights he considers to be an integral part of Israel, with them violating the buffer zone," Nebenzia told reporters.

"We were talking about the need to work out a document by the Council, not today. I mean, nobody was ready for that today, but I think in the coming days, very hopefully sooner rather than later, we will see one," Nebenzia told reporters.

"Optimus was doing this while 'blindfolded'. We haven’t yet made vision part of the control loop for uneven terrain," he added.

"It's an irresponsible decision, lead is very dangerous. The Supreme Council of Health opposed the use of lead to cover the roof of Notre Dame, but despite this, the cathedral was rebuilt in the same way, while alternative materials such as zinc were available," he explained.

"Even in non-fire conditions, lead crumbles. After it rains, it gets into the soil and into the water - into the Seine and into the gutters. It accumulates in the soil. There are playgrounds near Notre Dame, children play there, they get this soil on their hands, on their shoes, they put their hands in their mouths and lead gets into their bodies," the union warned.

"Eight years I've been waiting to expose the method, a cruel witch hunt. There was no crime, so they looked for a crime. They didn't find a crime, so they concocted a crime," he said during a press conference.

"I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but the FBI's respect has gone way down over the last number of years," Trump added.

"The goal is quite clear - just to put up a flag, make some video footage there and then get on the same speedboats and go back," Saldo explained.
