Malta · Day 4Robert AbelaThat will only come about through a diplomatic process that the Ukrainian people can have full trust in.
They will only have such trust if the process follows a full and unconditional ceasefire and the full participation of Ukraine and its people in the subsequent peace talks.
Rightly, the Ukrainian people will never have trust in any such for a settlement which involves their government being frogmarched to the table, one arm tied behind its back, whilst the guns still blaze.

Mr. President, if justice and the application of rules is the litmus test of the credibility of the international system, then the Palestinian issue remains the clearest example of the existing dysfunction.
What the Palestinian people have endured and continue to endure in terms of suffering, repression, and violations must not become a normalized reality or a protracted crisis managed from one cycle to the other.

Mauritius · Day 4Dhananjay RamfulThe crisis in the Gulf and threats to freedom of navigation have sent shockwaves across the global economy.

We call for restraint, for dialogue, and for a durable diplomatic resolution.

Iraq · Day 4Ali Falih Al-ZaidiIt has an inscription which reads: Laws are made to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak.

Therefore, the question of Palestine remains central to any discussion of stability in the region.

Albania · Day 4Edi RamaAlbania experienced this directly.
I'm sure you must have followed or just known the so-called Flamingo Revolution, a fabricated narrative of an Israeli invasion of the Albanian coast.
