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.

While giving an address in occupied al-Quds on Sunday, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was stopped by the relatives of captives still held in Gaza. 

Netanyahu stood immobile at a platform during the event on Sunday, while audience members yelled and interrupted him for more than a minute.

Some protesters screamed "Shame on you" and caused a scene, prompting Netanyahu to end his address shortly after it started.

According to Israeli media accounts, the event was initially planned without comments from family members of captives for fear of criticizing Netanyahu and his cabinet members.

Public and international pressure has mounted on the Netanyahu administration to do more to reach an agreement for the release of captives still in Gaza and end the aggression on Gaza, which many human rights organizations have warned is having catastrophic effects on the Palestinian population.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu emphasized that "Israel" is engaged in a "difficult existential war," bearing painful costs along the way.

Netanyahu’s statement followed a ramming Resistance operation near the Israeli occupation's Glilot base, north of Tel Aviv.

"We await the final investigation into the Glilot incident," he added.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation Security Minister Yoav Gallant suggested that retrieving Israeli captives from Gaza "will require painful concessions from our part," noting that "not every objective is achieved through military action, and force is not a substitute for everything."

Netanyahu and Gallant's statements were preceded by remarks from Israeli military officials, who indicated that it may be time for the Israeli government to express readiness to halt the war on Gaza in exchange for the return of the captives.

Resistance maintains ceasefire conditions, warns of 'deceptive calm'

Earlier, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Jamil Mezher, addressing US efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, told Al Mayadeen, "The US administration's efforts are focused on achieving a deceptive calm that serves its electoral interests."

Consequently, Mezher stressed that the PFLP "categorically rejects any attempt to conclude a temporary truce based on Zionist and American conditions aimed at cooling off the situation in conjunction with the elections."

However, Mezher clarified, "We deal very positively with any ideas that lead to the complete cessation of aggression and a full withdrawal of the occupation forces."

Also in a statement to Al Mayadeen, senior Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi articulated the group’s stance on the ongoing negotiations, emphasizing that the Resistance's demands for a ceasefire, withdrawal from Gaza, and humanitarian relief must be acknowledged before discussing the issue of captives.

Mardawi stated, in response to the "two-day ceasefire" proposal made by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, "We demand a comprehensive and clear deal, and we will not accept the fragmentation of the basic document."

He further expressed the group's anticipation of the results from the Doha meeting, indicating that Hamas is awaiting concrete outputs from these discussions. Mardawi concluded by asserting, "If the enemy does not announce its approval of the proposal, we will not approve of it in advance."
