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.

Syria's Ahmad al-Sharaa, head of the transitional administration, has responded to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's invitation by scheduling a visit to Ankara on Tuesday. 

Fakhreddine Antoun, the head of the Communications Directorate in the Turkish presidency, announced that Erdogan and al-Sharaa will discuss the latest developments in Syria, as well as potential measures the nations can jointly deploy to boost the country's economy and achieve lasting security and stability. 

Moreover, the help the Turkish government would provide for the transitional Syrian administration will also be discussed, according to Antoun. 

The Syrian administration has been trying to revive and maintain diplomatic relations with foreign countries after assuming power following the collapse of Assad's regime back in December.

Yesterday, al-Sharaa traveled to Saudi Arabia, alongside his Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani, in his first state visit.

Saudi sources have reported that al-Sharaa is set to visit Riyadh for private and official meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, shortly after the Emir of Qatar’s visit to Damascus.

A few days ago, Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman extended their congratulations to al-Sharaa following his appointment as Syria's interim president, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency on January 30.

The Saudi King conveyed his "sincere wishes" to the newly named transitional leader, expressing hope that al-Sharaa will guide Syria toward a bright future.

Similarly, the Crown Prince offered his best wishes, stating that he hoped al-Sharaa would successfully "lead his country towards a bright future and achieve further progress and prosperity for Syrians." Additionally, the Saudi government extended well-wishes to the Syrian people, expressing hopes for "more progress and well-being."
