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.

US President Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election was initially clouded by concerns over Vice President Kamala Harris's readiness to face former President Donald Trump, Axios reported on Monday, citing three aides familiar with the discussions.

The chief reasons include concerns about her leadership effectiveness, high staff turnover, and her difficulties in handling politically risky situations.

On Sunday, Biden ultimately chose to step down from the race and endorsed Harris, though his private doubts indicate a broader uncertainty among some Democratic leaders about her viability as the party's nominee.

The upcoming week will be pivotal for Harris as she works to solidify her position and eliminate potential challengers for the Democratic nomination.

While Biden, along with Bill and Hillary Clinton, has publicly supported Harris, other influential Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former President Barack Obama, have yet to fully endorse her.

Harris' time as vice president has been marked by significant staff turnover and strained relations with the White House.

Many former aides have cited her high standards and demanding nature as factors contributing to the frequent changes within her team.

The vice president's staff turnover contrasts sharply with the more stable staff of Biden during his vice presidency under President Obama.

Tensions between Harris' office and the White House have been noted, with some aides feeling that the Biden team was unhelpful and occasionally obstructive.

Despite these challenges, Harris's chief of staff, Lorraine Voles, stressed the collaborative efforts between her team and the White House.
