By Federico Maccioni, Eman Abouhassira and Timour Azhari DUBAI/RIYADH, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Iranian airlines were barred from neighbouring countries including the UAE and Oman on Thursday in response to new US sanctions, the first big impact of a shift in US policy to target companies in third countries that do business with Iran. The General Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates, the Middle East's biggest travel hub, said that as a result of the new US policy it was suspending all
Xi Jinping to Trump: The Thucydides Trap can be overcome.
Xi Jinping: China and the United States must hold the line of no conflict and no confrontation between us. And we can certainly find the right path for two great countries to get along on this planet we both call home. Our two militaries should maintain regular dialogue and improve mechanisms for crisis communication and prevention.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: We have long warned the international community through the UN General Assembly and through the Security Council that these Israeli policies, in violation of international law, would destroy the two-state solution. And that this is what is happening now. The danger is no longer limited to undermining the two-state solution and preventing the realization of the Palestinian State. It has now come to threaten the very life and existence of the Palestinian pe
Xi Jinping: We should strengthen communication. China and the United States are different in national conditions, but through candid, in-depth, and continued dialogue, our two countries can understand each other better, seek common ground while shelving differences, and build up mutual trust. President Trump and I have respect for each other. We have built personal rapport and stayed in touch. We encourage our government departments, such as those in charge of foreign affairs, economic ma
NATO secretary general said the alliance had agreed on a package of guarantees in January in Paris under the leadership of French President Emmanuel Macron
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, "settler" expansion is accelerating. The West Bank is being fragmented, and Jerusalem is being isolated and Judaized. "Settler" terrorism is escalating under the protection of the occupying forces, while the crimes of land theft, home demolition, checkpoints and raids continue under a system of laws, measures, and practices, all built on racial discrimination, ethnic cleansing, and state terrorism.

Neria Leiter, a reserve soldier, sustained life-threatening injuries after a Palestinian man drove into a military checkpoint in the West Bank, the Israeli military said.
Xi Jinping to Trump: I am ready to work with you to steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations on a steady course toward the future.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: In the Gaza Strip, our people are being subjected at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces to killing, destruction, starvation, and attempts at displacement, as well as a genocidal war that has created an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. It has destroyed neighborhoods, cities, camps, institutions, schools, universities, hospitals, mosques and churches. And it has targeted all the basic necessities of life and the future of entire generations.
Xi Jinping: Both China and the United States are great countries, and both the Chinese and American peoples are great peoples. I am visiting the United States at President Trump's invitation to carry on our friendship, expand cooperation, and promote the well-being of both our peoples.

Trump: Just as our people worked together to win WW2, President Xi and I will continue working together to forge a better future for both of our nations. President Xi, Madam Peng — thank you once again for making this historic visit and welcome to the U.S.A.
Trump: It was the United States Marines' encounter with Chinese people that inspired the Marines to adopt a Chinese phrase they still use today — gung-ho. The Marines use it as an expression of great enthusiasm, but in Chinese, it literally means working together.
Trump: I'm confident there is much we can achieve. Throughout history, pursuit of those common interests has connected our people across the vast oceans, those big, tremendous distances, and many differences, and even made us allies in World War II. Look at the greatness that we had together fighting in World War II. Brave American pilots volunteered to come to China and fight for the very survival of a legendary country, and that legendary Flying Tigers group — they were just unbelievabl
Iran has targeted the region with more than 1,000 drone and missile attacks since February. It has sought to strike at Kurdish dissident groups as well as US diplomatic facilities and other sites.
Trump: During this visit, we will also discuss pressing issues concerning security, technology, and superintelligence — SI. The decisions we make in these areas today can promote peace and prosperity for decades and decades to come.
Trump: President Xi and I have made tremendous strides on the issues facing our two countries. During my last visit last May, we created the Board of Trade. Through that, it's a brand new mechanism, and with something that's been unbelievably successful, our teams have been working to encourage a more balanced trading relationship.
RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center and the International Organization for Migration have signed a partnership agreement to improve living conditions for internally displaced people, or IDPs, in war-hit Yemen. “To improve living conditions for the IDPs in Yemen, KSrelief signed a joint executive program with IOM to provide tents and shelter kits for displaced people and those most in need, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly,” the Saudi aid agency said on Thursday.
Trump: Since the time of my first election in 2016, President Xi and I have forged a friendship, a truly great friendship, built on mutual respect and the vital interests of our people. We have spent time together all over the world — from Germany to Argentina, Japan to South Korea, and Beijing to Palm Beach, Florida. But remarkably, this is our first time meeting together here at the White House. And as President Xi has already seen, a lot has changed since he was last here.
Trump: President Xi becomes the first ever Chinese leader to make a second formal state visit to America.
