What they said

What is happening is not a repeat of the September 11 attacks but a communications outage, and the situation is completely different.

There is no reason for citizens to fear or worry about their traveling relatives

Our priority is restoring communications and grounding all aircraft, then returning to normal operations

We are taking the possibility of a cyberattack into account during the investigation into the malfunction, but we do not know yet whether it is the cause.

What we know so far is that what happened was just a communications outage

There were no prior indications, and so far there is no evidence indicating that the communications outage was caused by a deliberate attack.

We have halted all flights as a precaution

There is currently a signature collection process demanding the reinstatement of Jensen as Nvidia CEO, and I will sign it too

It is capable of negotiating with dignity, and capable of ending this war with dignity.

We do not need an agreement with Iran. Those days are long gone. We got their money — hundreds of billions of dollars — and we controlled their strait.

We targeted Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with a drone

We renew our firm position on the Palestinian cause

Scratch the Turk and the Ottoman appears

An imminent and inevitable agreement, the Iranian initiative is under study, and there is serious talk in the corridors about a new regional order

Don't hike rates

With God's help, this visit will contribute to ending the war in Lebanon and to its prosperity. With God's help, and because of the changes in Syria, a link will emerge between Tripoli and Syria, and between some Turkish cities. With God's help, those who commit evil in the Gaza Strip, those who demolish houses in the West Bank, and those who destroy and seize land in Syria and southern Lebanon will not dare to do so if we stand together.

The war will continue until 2027, and Iran, even if it continues negotiating, will not resolve it because it will not offer any concession to the Trump administration.

Israel's right to exist is part of Germany's fundamental national interest. I must always remember how I can help ensure the continued existence of the state of Israel, and preferably that it lives in peace. If Israel's right to exist is taken seriously, and I believe we must take it seriously, then there are some one-sided statements that I cannot understand and firmly reject. The Left Party 'Die Linke' in Berlin faces a particular problem in this regard.

What surprises me is the small number of voices we hear from inside the Gaza Strip criticizing Hamas and confronting its actions.

If we try to put ourselves in the shoes of the Israeli Prime Minister, we realize that this is an extremely difficult task. If there is a shelter under every kindergarten and every hospital, and Hamas members are sitting there, and they know that the only way to destroy their sites is to also attack what is above them, then the task becomes more complicated. The Israeli Prime Minister must do his utmost to ensure the security of his citizens, just as German citizens expect their leaders to ensure their security.

Saudi Arabia asked me to keep the situation as it is for a while, because Iran is in a state of disintegration. Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE and Bahrain all prefer to grant this waiting period.

I can end the matter immediately, but at the request of the countries I seek to protect, we are following an approach that takes a little longer and is more civilized.

We call on the Houthis to stop their attacks immediately and return to the political process in good faith

We reject any measures that obstruct legitimate navigation and call for the rapid resumption of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz

We stress the necessity of preserving the security and stability of all countries of the region, especially those contributing to diplomatic efforts

Those wishing to apply must submit their applications in person from 16/11/2026 until 18/12/2026 inclusive during official working hours between 7:30 and 14:00 (Monday to Friday), at the Karantina Barracks (Army Music).

So Lebanon must unite. And for Turkey to be able to help you more, this country must start achieving results.

We are in Tripoli, the city that is our home, indeed my home; thank you very much.

Welcome to a city accustomed to opening its doors to everyone who comes to it with love, and to preserving affection for those who reciprocate its people's appreciation and respect. Your visit is an occasion to reaffirm the depth of the historical and cultural ties that have linked Tripoli to Turkey.

But it is neither legitimate nor acceptable to insult an entire community, and I will not allow that
