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.

    Twitter suing Musk over pulling out $44 billion deal

Last April, the boss of Tesla announced his intention to buy the social network for an amount of $44 billion. On July 8, Elon Musk decided to retract his decision in an official letter. A judge from a specialized business law court in the state of Delaware will have to determine whether or not the billionaire has the right to terminate the acquisition agreement. This agreement provides for severance payments amounting to one billion dollars.

Twitter accused Elon Musk of acting in bad faith, accusing him of asking for information about the company in order to then accuse them of providing “false statements” about their activities to regulators and investors. The social media network hired two days ago the firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP as their legal representatives, whereas Musk is represented by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP.

On Twitter's final verified complaint, it is stated that Musk "has purported to put the deal on 'hold' pending satisfaction of imaginary conditions, breached his financing efforts obligations in the process, violated his obligations to treat requests for consent reasonably and to provide information about financing status, violated his non-disparagement obligation, misused confidential information, and otherwise failed to employ required efforts to consummate the acquisition."

It also stated that "[Musk] has been acting against this deal since the market started turning, and has breached the merger agreement repeatedly in the process."

Musk responded by posting a meme of himself last Monday on Twitter:

Twitter's complaint alleges that the company "has suffered and will continue to suffer irreparable harm as a result of defendants’ breaches", which "cast a shadow over Twitter and its business." 

After hitting its lowest on Wall Street in four months on Monday, the Twitter stock bounced back on Thursday with (+4.32% to $34.06).
