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.

The leader of the Iraqi Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, has announced today, Saturday, the intention of his bloc and its allies to present a draft proposal to "criminalize normalization with Israel" for a vote in the Iraqi parliament.

Al-Sadr tweeted, "One of the most important reasons that called me to involve the Sadrist movement in the electoral process again is the issue of normalization and Israeli ambitions to dominate our beloved Iraq."

It is noteworthy that Iraq does not establish any relations with "Israel", and the government and most political forces reject normalization with it.

Al-Sadr has repeatedly announced his movement's opposition to normalizing ties with "Israel." He harshly criticized some Gulf countries, including the United Arab Emirates, who have normalized ties with "Israel." 

On September 26, 2021, the Media Center of the Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq announced that al-Karkh First Investigation Court issued arrests warrants against Wissam Al-Hardan and several others for their role in calling for normalization with "Israel" during the "Peace and Reclamation" conference. The conference was held in Iraqi Kurdistan region's capital city, Erbil.

The conference triggered a chain of condemnations by Iraqi authorities.
