NEVER ENOUGH: As talks about Ukraine assistance persist, Kyiv’s ambassador to the U.S. said her nation's forces don't have enough weapons to win the war against Russia, Alex writes in. "The short answer is no, we don't have enough," OKSANA MARKAROVA told Semafor's STEVE CLEMONS when asked if Ukraine had enough ammunition and other weapons to keep fighting. "We need all the capabilities, the very primitive ones … but also the sophisticated ones." Speaking on the sidelines of Davos, Markarova then detailed Ukraine's success using drones to push back Russia's fleet in the Red Sea, noting her country is building more. But the ambassador added that other unconventional and electronic weapons could be useful on the battlefield: "We need all of it," she said. It's not an overly surprising message by a Ukrainian official. But her message was delivered with a sense of urgency, especially since weapons packages from Europe and the U.S. are no longer guaranteed. Earlier in the week at another side event on the Promenade in Davos, Ukrainian MP SASHA USTINOVA told a mostly American audience "we're going to lose without you, but we are also going to win with you."

Asked about Netanyahu’s comments, National Security Council spokesperson JOHN KIRBY told reporters that the U.S. will “not stop working toward” a two-state solution. “If we took such statements as the final word, there would be no humanitarian assistance going into Gaza and no hostages released,” a senior administration official told NatSec Daily, granted anonymity to candidly respond to the remarks. “As with those and many other issues, we will continue to work toward the right outcome, particularly on issues where we strongly disagree.” The death toll continues to rise in the territory as Israel strikes areas of Gaza where it had told civilians to take refuge. Sixteen people, including eight children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home in southern Gaza today, medics told the AP. Across the occupied West Bank, meanwhile, Israel’s military launched a series of raids that have killed a dozen people since Wednesday, The Guardian’s JASON BURKE reports. “There is a very strong siege on Tulkarem. It is a very terrible situation. We have never seen anything like this,” RADWAN BLEIBLE, a doctor at the al-Zakat hospital in the northern town, told The Guardian. On a related note, Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group — which has been engaged in skirmishes with Israeli troops on the country’s border for months — rejected Washington’s plea to refrain from fighting and pull its fighters from the border, Lebanese officials told Reuters’ LAILA BASSAM and MAYA GEBEILY. However, the group remains open to U.S. diplomacy to avoid a larger war, the officials said.

This marks the fifth round of U.S. strikes against the Houthis in Yemen in a week, as the militants continue to target U.S. and international vessels in the Red Sea. American airstrikes also destroyed 14 Houthi missiles and launchers on Wednesday, U.S. Central Command announced. “My hope is that we will find a way to deter Iran, but for the intermediate term, it's going to require more action to prevent the Houthis” from attacking ships, Coons said on CNN this morning. As cross-border conflicts in the Middle East increase, Pakistan launched a series of retaliatory strikes on militants in Iran today, killing nine people, The Washington Post reports. Pakistani officials said the deaths included “a number of terrorists,” while Iranian state media reported that three women and four children were killed. The attacks were carried out with “drones, rockets, loitering munitions and standoff weapons,” according to Pakistan’s foreign ministry. It’s the latest in an escalating tit-for-tat that began after Iran said it targeted militants in Pakistan on Tuesday, but killed two children. NAHAL’S NOTEBOOK: Latvian President Rinkēvičs spoke with Nahal on a number of issues at Davos. Here’s what stood out to us: On the Israel-Hamas war: “The current situation has underlined how sometimes difficult it is to reach a European consensus. It's bad. It's bad for the EU because it's not able to act as a viable actor in the Middle East. I don't believe this is creating an additional strain between Europe and the United States.” On the war in Ukraine: “One thing that I think Americans are kind of not understanding or even ignoring is that when it comes to aid to Ukraine, Europe does more than the United States, because we do support Ukraine both militarily but also financially. And let's not forget about Ukrainian refugees that we are hosting.” Is humanity already witnessing World War III? “No, not yet. I do hope that the global wisdom will prevent that, but in that case, we need to be more bold. … We have to change the narrative. When it comes to Ukraine, it’s not about supporting Ukraine as long as it takes. It’s about supporting Ukraine to victory. Because if you don’t have this goal, we don’t mobilize.” IT’S THURSDAY: Thanks for tuning in to NatSec Daily.
