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.

Trump calls impact of #GERD on Nile waters “a big problem” U.S. President Donald #Trump has commented on the Grand #Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), describing its impact on Nile waters as “a big problem” for Egypt. “They built a little dam in Ethiopia that’s like the largest dam in the world. And it affects the water going to the Nile. Would you say that’s a problem? I would say that’s a big problem,” Trump said on Saturday at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder’s Dinner in Mount Vernon, Virginia. He listed the GERD alongside other global crises, including tensions between #India and #Pakistan, #Thailand and #Cambodia, #Armenia and #Azerbaijan, #Kosovo and #Serbia, and #Israel and #Iran. In July, Trump controversially claimed the GERD was “largely” funded by U.S. Watch

The Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam #GERD recently welcomed visits from religious leaders and renowned athletes, highlighting its significance not just as a source of power but as a symbol of national pride, unity, and self reliance. Their visit underscores the monumental achievement of the Ethiopian people, who came together to make this dream a reality. Built entirely with the contributions of Ethiopians children, the elderly, the poor, and the rich alike the dam stands as a testament to the country’s determination and resilience. Despite immense pressure from Western powers favoring Egypt, Ethiopia made great sacrifices to complete this historic project. Ethiopia’s right to use its own resources and its fair share of the Abay (the Nile River) has long been undermined and misunderstood, as if Egypt owns the water a complete lie. Ethiopia contributes more than 85% of the Nile’s water through its rivers, yet it has historically been denied equitable access. GERD is a declaration of Ethiopia’s sovereignty and its rightful claim to utilize its resources for the benefit of its people. I am so glad to see that it’s finalized. GERD is a shining example of what Ethiopians can achieve when united for a common purpose. #Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 #ItsMyDam

#GERD project manager says #Sudan, #Egypt should have shared half of construction cost In a televised interview, Eng. Kifle Horo, project manager of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), said the project brings significant benefits not only to Ethiopia but also to downstream countries, particularly Sudan and Egypt. He emphasized that Sudan will benefit from consistent water flow, reduced flooding, full reservoirs, and year-round farming opportunities. On Egypt, Kifle noted that the dam’s location in Ethiopia reduces evaporation compared to Egypt’s plain-based reservoir, potentially saving an additional 4 billion cubic meters of water annually. He argued that given these advantages, “Sudan should have covered at least 30% and Egypt 20% of the cost,” adding that instead of cooperating, both countries opposed the project, costing Ethiopia lives and resources. Watch!

🇪🇹 When the World Bank Said No, Ethiopia Built the Future Anyway Denied funding by the US-run World Bank—an institution that dismissed them as “lesser races”—Ethiopia did the unthinkable. With a GDP of just $29 billion, it rallied 130 million citizens, including the diaspora, to fully fund a $5 billion dam themselves. The result is the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD): Africa’s largest hydroelectric project, a monumental feat of engineering, and a thunderous act of defiance. It is proof that dignity needs no permission. And a stark warning to every gatekeeper who said no: Africa is done asking.

Israel has also successfully utilized its AH-64 Apache's to counter Iranian drones. Not only has CENTCOM been experimenting with this as mentioned by Gabriele Molinelli below , it has been actively training with regional allies for exactly this scenario. The 95% success rate against the Group 3 UAS threat isn't an accident.

FirstPost TV interview. Here’s a video highlighting the main topics I discussed: 1. Ethiopia’s recent elections. The successful completion of the elections is a big postive not only for Ethiopia but for Africa. Furthermore, it assures reforms will continue and sustained economic growth in the world’s 2nd fastest growing economy in 2026 (IMF). The elections were declared free and fair by international observers including the African Union (AU). 2. Ethiopia’s right to regain its own direct unfettered access to the sea. In my view it was a historical mistake that made Ethiopia landlocked. Ethiopia is the world’s 10th most populous country with 135 million people and amongst the 5 largest economies in Africa with a GDP of US$556 billion (PPP). 3. The US$5.0 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), is already completed and fully operational. It’s a hydro electric power dam (not an irrigation dam) which does not divert or reduce water flow to Egypt. If there are water flow concerns, they can be addressed by highly qualified technical experts from Egypt and Ethiopia, as has been done continuously. The GERD provides electricity to millions across Eastern Africa who previously lived in absolute darkness and is a clean, green renewable energy source which is environmental friendly. The full 17 minutes interview is available Firstpost

#Eritrea’s dictatorship survives only by keeping Ethiopia weak. The regime has poured its entire treasury into sabotaging Ethiopia--fueling rebellions, spreading propaganda, and exploiting ethnic divisions. The thought of a strong, united #Ethiopia terrifies Asmara, as it would expose Eritrea’s own fragility and irrelevance. For years, Ethiopia has played the diplomatic game, tolerating Eritrea’s meddling for the sake of regional stability. But Ethiopia’s patience isn’t infinite. The moment Ethiopia decides enough is enough Asmara’s house of cards collapses. The question isn’t if—it’s when.

#Ethiopia: “The dam is on. There are now two big dams on the #Nile - the #GERD and the #Aswan Dam,” Professor John Rao Nyaoro. Professor Nyaoro, former Executive Director of the Nile Basin Initiative (#NBI) and author of ‘Realizing the Water Security of the Nile Basin States’, said this in a comment in the wake of the completion of the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). “Now Egypt has got no alternative but to agree to come to the table, cooperate with all the Nile Basin states for equitable and reasonable utilization of the GERD so that they can also benefit,” he told Citizen TV over the weekend.
