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.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted on Saturday that Israeli occupation forces "will have freedom of taking action" in the Gaza Strip after the aggression ends.

"Only that will guarantee that Gaza stays demilitarized," Netanyahu said in a televised address.

Touching on the file of captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli premier said that no agreement on the release of captives has come out of negotiations so far.

Earlier on Saturday, families and supporters of the 240 Israeli captives rallied in "Tel Aviv" to call on the regime to act immediately on the release of captives, Israeli news agencies reported.

At least 25,000 Israeli settlers participated in the march that kicked off in "Tel Aviv." Protesters marched toward occupied al-Quds where the Israeli Prime Minister's office is located.

Qatar says 'Israel' blocking ceasefire deal despite Hamas agreement

The families of Israeli captives have doubled down efforts to exert pressure on Netanyahu's government amid conflicting information about a potential prisoner swap deal with the Palestinian Resistance, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. Israeli settlers have been criticizing Netanyahu for his incompetence in dealing with the matter and have called for his resignation.

On November 9, the military spokesperson for Al-Quds Brigades Abu Hamza announced the resistance's renunciation of their responsibilities toward Israeli captives given the brutal Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip.

Last week, the spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida revealed that the Resistance was on the verge of releasing 12 captives of foreign nationalities but the deal was obstructed by "Israel".

A poll published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv a week ago reported that 60% of Israeli settlers support a ceasefire in Gaza to facilitate the return of captives.

Palestinian Authority cannot run Gaza: Netanyahu

In a related context, Netanyahu said on Saturday that the Palestinian Authority (PA), in its current state, is incapable of running the Gaza Strip.

"The Palestinian Authority, in its current state, cannot administer Gaza. Should we really leave everything up to them after all we have done, after we have fought [there]?" he said.

Elsewhere, the Israeli occupation Prime Minister criticized the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, for failing to condemn the Hamas movement over its Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, adding that the Palestinian Authority should be reformed.
