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.

  • Blinken: US to supply Europe with natural gas for the rest of 2022

On Sunday, Washington has provided a generous supply of liquefied natural gas to Europe and will continue to do so for the rest of the year, according to Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State.

"We very much support the European Union's efforts to put in place an embargo on the importation of Russian oil... The United States has taken a number of steps to help and so for example, to the extent that there are any gaps that result in the energy that Europe is getting, we have already redirected significant supplies of liquefied natural gas to Europe," Blinken said after meeting with NATO allies in Germany. 

"The president's committed to continuing to do that throughout the rest of the year."

While the United States has offered to replace the void with more expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments, most of Europe's LNG terminals are currently at capacity, meaning there would be no space to store the fuel.

Furthermore, Blinken also spoke of NATO's forthcoming summit in June, which will be staged in Madrid and will assess the alliance's future relationship with Moscow.

Upon being asked whether he thinks a containment strategy would be the right concept to frame future relations with Russia and if the NATO-Russia Founding Act should be maintained, Blinken said, "A lot of these issues will be fully discussed and fully elaborated on at the NATO summit in Madrid in June and much of the work that we were doing today was in furtherance of that summit and the work the leaders will bring to conclusion including the strategic concept."

EU strikes deal to buy gas from US

By the end of March, the EU made a move to buy gas from the United States to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy.

The European Union's agreement aims to buy at least 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) more from the US this year to lower its dependence on Russian natural gas, reported Bloomberg.

However, American imports would cover just a fraction of Europe’s energy demand.

Europe derives more than 40% of its total natural gas imports from Russia, having purchased over 155 billion cubic meters of gas in 2021. Meanwhile, last year's US LNG shipments to the EU totaled slightly more than 22 billion cubic meters.
