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.

Dozens of demonstrators protested outside Morocco's parliament on Friday against the kingdom's normalization of ties with the Israeli occupation after the latter recalled its top envoy from Rabat in light of a probe, AFP reported.

The protesters chanted slogans denouncing the Moroccan-Israeli rapprochement, bashing the occupation's ambassador David Govrin and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.

According to Israeli public broadcaster Kan, a foreign ministry delegation has been dispatched to Rabat in response to sexual abuse allegations against Israeli envoy Govrin.

Quelque chose de plus dans la manifestation d’aujourd’hui en faveur de la Palestine. Une énergie particulière qui fait mouche.

As cited by AFP, an Israeli diplomatic source affirmed that Govrin had been recalled while an investigation was conducted, but did not elaborate on the nature of the investigation.

The investigation also focuses on a series of embezzlements, including the disappearance of a gift sent by the King of Morocco on the occasion of the establishment of the occupation's regime, which was not handed over to the government as is customary.

On his account, a pro-Palestinian activist against normalization between Morocco and “Israel” said “today, we are in front of the parliament to protest against the hideous acts committed by Govrin.

"Morocco's dignity is not for sale, the normalization must end," he said.

Govrin, 59, was "Tel Aviv's" ambassador to Cairo before being named ambassador to Rabat last year.

According to an Israeli diplomatic source, Govrin is currently in “Israel” and is involved in the ongoing investigation.

It is worth noting that Rabat severed ties with “Israel” in 2000, following the outbreak of the second Palestinian intifada, but Morocco normalized ties with “Israel” in 2020, following the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
