The Leipzig drone bomb marks a dangerous escalation for Europe

Initial evidence suggests the drone, which was found near Ukrainian cargo planes at the German airport, came from Russia The armed drone found at Leipzig airport on Wednesday may not have exploded, but the fact that it got inside the perimeter, close to Ukrainian cargo planes, raises obvious concerns for the security of international aviation. Though the identity of the culprits is unknown, the initial evidence points firmly towards a Russian-orchestrated plot. It is the first time that a drone

The impacts extend beyond the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, so we asked five experts to consider the implications for several other crucial waterways: the Strait of Malacca, th

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: Hamas has fulfilled many of its obligations, but in contrast, we see that Israel is always acting as a spoiler. Israel uses another issue as an excuse to constantly kill Palestinian children, bomb hospitals, and show that it has nothing to do with peace.

Netanyahu:

Netanyahu: Many leaders around the world tell me, "Prime Minister, we appreciate you. We even admire you, and we need you." They tell me, "Israel is our model in the struggle against radical Islam that threatens the entire civilized world." I hear it in our region, in Europe, in Latin America, and across all the continents.

Netanyahu:

Netanyahu: The soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces are the bravest, the most moral, and the most slandered soldiers on Earth. False accusations that come from abroad must not be allowed to spread within our own society.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: Israel has no intention or plan regarding peace. It is merely using all platforms to advance its own position and its illegal strategies. If regional countries and the international community "do not take the necessary diplomatic measures to prevent Israel's expansionist policies... this will not only produce a regional crisis but also a global crisis.
