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.

AKP Deputy, Fatih Cengiz, along with 2500 members, announced resignation from the Justice and Development Party to join the Republican People’s opposition Party (CHP), as Turkish media stated.

“We set out with the CHP, and we will continue with it until the very end,” said Cengiz.

The CHP held a ceremony for welcoming the new members to the center-left party, and it was attended by Oguz Kan Salici, Vice-President of the opposition Republican People's Party, according to AFP.

In his turn, the Head of the Mus Province of the Republican People's Party, Ismail Adanur, welcomed the new individuals and thanked them for joining the party.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had filed a lawsuit against opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Head of the Republican People's Party, for violating the President’s personal rights during his speech at the meeting of his party's parliamentary bloc.

Earlier, Erdogan's lawyer, Huseyin Aydin, filed a petition, stating that "Kiliçdaroglu, in his speech during the meeting of the Republican People's Party, directed severe insults to President Erdogan, in which he violated and infringed upon his personal rights."

The petition demanded that Kılıçdaroğlu be fined to pay compensation of 500,000 Turkish liras (about 57,500 dollars). The court's decision was published in a widely circulated newspaper.

It is noteworthy that the former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu left the Justice and Development Party in 2019 with a number of members, in light of differences with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This was days after referring Davutoğlu to the Disciplinary Council.
