BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

In the middle of her concert in the Turkish city of Izmir, French singer Imany called on the crowd and her fans to support Palestine. 

"Everyone here, raise your fists in the air for the innocent people killed all over the world. Raise your fists for a cease-fire in Palestine...Freedom for Palestine! As I said, if one of us is not free, none of us are free."

The audience raised their fists while cheering and applauding for her call.

Musicians, artists boycott UK cultural events over 'Israel' ties

In a show of protest that took place late in May, keynote speakers did not appear and headliners refused to show up for the Great Escape, a "showcase" event that has launched the careers of artists like Stormzy, AlunaGeorge, Fat White Family, and Anna Calvi, as tensions over the war on Gaza increase.

Many acts withdrew due to a pro-Palestinian boycott targeting the event's sponsorship by Barclays Bank, which, according to campaigners, has increased its investments in arms companies that trade with "Israel".

A spokesperson for Barclays acknowledged "the profound human suffering caused by this conflict" but clarified that Barclays "does not make its own investments" in the nine defense companies and acts on the instructions of its clients.

Artists such as Macklemore have been using their platforms to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and even released songs to protest the US-support Israeli genocide.
