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.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen and 15 of her allies in Europe, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, issued a "joint declaration" on Friday, describing it as "the cornerstone" of an alliance in the European Parliament aimed at "Reforming Europe," as they put it.

The signatories to the declaration published on the website of the National Rally party, led by Le Pen, “At a time when the advocates of globalization and Europeanism, and their main representative in France, Emmanuel Macron, launch the Conference on the Future of Europe, which aims to increase the power of European bodies, today’s agreement is the cornerstone towards the formation of a broad coalition in the European Parliament."

Among the signatories are Marine Le Pen, Italian League leader Matteo Salvini, Hungarian Prime Minister and Chairman of Fidesz Party Viktor Orban, Polish Law and Justice party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Spain's Vox party leader Santiago Abascal and Fratelli d'Italia party Leader Giorgia Meloni.

The signatory parties are not part of the same groups in the European Parliament. Both the National Rally and the Italian League belong to the Identity and Democracy group, while the Law and Justice, Vox, and Fratelli d'Italia parties belong to the Conservative and Reformist groups. Fidesz, which split from the European People's Party group in March, is looking for new partners.

In a separate announcement, Marine Le Pen, whose party is holding a conference Saturday and Sunday, said that the document is "the basis of a common cultural and political action that respects the role of current policy groups," stressing that the need for "deep reform of the European Union lest the creation of a major European state."

The 16 signatories considered that the European Union "continues to follow the federal path that inevitably distances it from the people who are the beating heart of our civilization."

“The most influential national parties on the continent recognized the importance of joining forces to enhance their relevance in discussions and reform of the European Union,” they added.
