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.

The head of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mahdi al-Mashat, considered that the United Nations should commit to opening new destinations through Sanaa International Airport in accordance with the requirements of the truce.

During a meeting with the Minister of Transport, the President of the General Authority for Civil Aviation and Meteorology, and the Authority's Undersecretary, in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, al-Mashat reviewed a report on the flights to Amman under the first and second truce.

The Yemeni leader pointed out that the United Nations is obligated to open new destinations through Sanaa International Airport in order to reduce the suffering of citizens traveling for treatment, expatriates, students, and businessmen, in order to fully open Sanaa International Airport without any restrictions.

Al-Mashat stressed the necessity of paying attention to training and raising the level of efficiency of air navigation and meteorology workers, as well as providing all necessary services and facilities for travelers.

For his part, the President of the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that the airport operates in accordance with international standards and provides all necessary facilities for travelers.

On August 2, the United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, said the warring parties agreed on extending the truce for an extra two months per the same conditions with the aim of maintaining negotiations and reaching a comprehensive truce as soon as possible.

The truce in effect in Yemen since last April 2, which was also extended on June 2, stipulates the suspension of military offensives by land, sea, and air in Yemen and across its borders, in addition to facilitating the entry of ships carrying fuel to Hodeidah ports in western Yemen.

The extended truce also stipulates permitting two commercial planes from and to Sanaa International Airport weekly and holding a meeting between both parties concurring on opening roads in Taiz and other governorates to promote freedom of movement within Yemen.

Mohammad Abdul Salam, Sanaa’s head of negotiating delegation, told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that "this is the last time we will accept the extension of the truce as per the current conditions."
