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.

Qatar has notified certain European buyers about shipment delays and revised schedules, traders familiar with the situation told Bloomberg.

To fulfill contractual commitments, Qatar, one of the world's leading gas-producing nations, is reorganizing the global supply chain by diverting deliveries from non-European regions and exchanging them for available cargoes in proximity to Europe, as stated by the traders.

As of January 15, Qatar has rerouted at least six shipments originally bound for Europe via the Cape of Good Hope, which circles Africa, as opposed to the shorter route through the Red Sea, passing through the Suez Canal, as indicated by ship-tracking data gathered by Bloomberg.

These deviations result in delay of shipments, as vessels take far more extended periods of time to reach their destinations than initially intended. This limits the number of ships available for subsequent cargo deliveries.
 
In one such case, a QatarEnergy LNG shipment destined for the Adriatic terminal of the Italian utility company Edison was initially planned to arrive in early February was delayed. The shipment was postponed to a later date in February, according to individuals familiar with the situation.

In a market notice, Edison acknowledged that a shipment scheduled for January 31 to February 5 would not be delivered on the initially specified date while refusing to comment on the origin of the shipment.

It is worth mentioning that multiple factors including unaffected supplies have off-put any negative effects on LNG prices in Europe. Additionally, the Yemeni Armed Forces have reiterated on multiple occasions that ships not heading to Israeli-occupied Palestinian ports can safely pass through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. Moreover, Qatar has not reduced its gas exports since the Israeli war on Gaza commenced on October 7. In fact, the country has increased its supply of gas to the global market by 7% year-on-year, even though those shipments have occasionally taken much longer to reach their destination.
