The head of NATO warned on Saturday of the 'alliance of authoritarian powers' threatening Western democracies as he highlighted the increasing partnership between Russia, Iran, China and North Korea

The West is in more danger than it has ever been in, the head of NATO said in a dire warning on Saturday as he warned of an "alliance of authoritarian powers" working against the West's democracies.

The US and its NATO allies are on the side of Israel and Ukraine, while Iran, Russia, North Korea and, to a lesser extent, China, are on the side of Russia and Hamas, though the Gaza conflict is more complicated than the one playing out in Ukraine. NATO is hoping to send a "very clear message" to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Stoltenberg said, as the bloc urges the country to do "significantly more" to reduce civilian casualties in the conflict.

Stoltenberg told the BBC that he's urging NATO and its allies to provide more funding to the region but that there's only so much NATO can do to help its ally, which he said will have to be OK with some "compromises".
