BREAKING
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.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Citing Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla, the Egyptian cabinet of ministers announced on Tuesday that the country intends to develop 35 new natural gas wells in the upcoming two years through an investment of $1.5 billion.

This comes after the cabinet stated that Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly convened with El Molla in the city of New Alamein in northwest Egypt on Tuesday.

The cabinet's statement read: "He [El Molla] explained that the plan to drill 45 natural gas wells in the Mediterranean Sea and the delta [of the Nile] with an investment of 1.9 billion dollars is being implemented," adding that during the 2022-2023 fiscal year, around 10 gas wells were drilled.

"The plan includes drilling 35 new natural gas wells in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 fiscal years, with investments totaling over $1.5 billion," El Molla said.

Egypt stopped importing gas in 2018 and has been upping its own production of natural gas, in addition to its repeated announcement of its intention to become a hub of gas trading in the region.

This comes just a week after Egypt's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced that a new oil field was discovered in the Gulf of Suez. "Cheiron Company announced that it has made a new oil discovery in the Geisum and Tawila West Concession in the Gulf of Suez," it confirmed in a statement.

The oil field will be managed by Egypt's Petrogulf Misr, which is a joint venture between the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation and the Cheiron and Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (Kufpec) companies.
