❗️US President Donald Trump on Truth Social:

"Time for the terrorists to hide, but it won’t do them any good. Our Warfighters, the Greatest the World has ever seen, will find them, and bring them to swift Justice. I just got rid of Joe Biden’s dangerous red tape, and empowered our Warfighters, once again, just like I did against our fight with ISIS, who were completely obliterated in three weeks under General Daniel Caine, our new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We will support the Somali People, who should not allow the Houthis to embed (which they are trying to do!), to end terrorism, and bring prosperity to their Country."

❗️Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on X:

“I love my son Yair, a true Zionist who cares about the future of the country.
Like every citizen, he is entitled to his personal opinion, although the style of his response to President Macron's tweet calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state is unacceptable to me.

President Macron is gravely mistaken when he continues to promote the idea of ​​a Palestinian state in the heart of our country, whose sole ambition is the destruction of the State of Israel.
Until this moment, no Hamas or PA official has condemned the atrocities of the worst massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust, which indicates their true attitude towards the Jewish state.

We will not jeopardize our existence because of illusions disconnected from reality, and we will not accept moral sermons for the establishment of a Palestinian state that would endanger the existence of Israel, from those who oppose granting independence to Corsica, New Caledonia, French Guinea, and other territories, whose independence would not endanger France in any way.”

Hamas called on churches worldwide to denounce Israel's ongoing violations of religious freedom. It also urged the international community to take serious action to stop what it described as a brutal war to eradicate the Palestinian people and their cause.
