The international community has not done anything special and has taken it as normal that one country threatens to destroy another."

🇺🇸 -- REPORTER: "Why did you attack Pope Leo?"

President Trump: "I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo."

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded to German Chancellor Scholz regarding his comments on the annexation of Judea and Samaria: "The days when Germans dictated to Jews where they are allowed and not allowed to live are gone and will not return. On Holocaust Remembrance Day eve, the German Chancellor should bow his head and apologize a thousand times on behalf of Germany — and not dare to preach to us about how to deal with the Nazis of our generation"
