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 visit of former Lebanese President Michel Aoun to Syria was of a private nature, and his meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad was friendly, informed sources told Al Mayadeen.

The talks between presidents Al-Assad and Aoun revolved around the two countries' bilateral relations and the need to advance them for both their interests, the sources said.

President Al-Assad assured Aoun that Syria hopes that the Lebanese parties reach an agreement to choose a candidate for the presidency without any external interference, the sources indicated.

On his part, the former Lebanese President told Al-Assad that he was sure that Syria would come out victorious and that stability in the county would prevail once again, just as its relations with its Arab surroundings, they added.

Earlier today, Al-Assad expressed during their meeting that he sees Lebanon's strength in its political and economic stability and that the Lebanese people can bring about stability through dialogue and agreement.

He explained how Syria and Lebanon could not consider that their challenges are "isolated" from one another, noting how the recent Arab rapprochement and Syria's rejoining of the Arab League are things that will bring about benefits to both Syria and Lebanon.

He also considered that Syria has overcome its difficult challenges thanks to the awareness of its people and their faith in its army and leadership.

The former Lebanese President underlined that Syria’s prosperity will have a positive impact on Lebanon and its people.

Former Lebanese President Aoun arrived today morning in Damascus and was accompanied by former Lebanese Minister Pierre Raffoul. They were received on the Lebanese-Syrian border by the former Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon, Ali Abed Al-Karim Ali.

A source close to Aoun told Al Mayadeen that the Lebanese presidential election "is not on the agenda of Aoun's discussion with Al-Assad."
