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.

US President Joe Biden will head to Germany and Spain from June 25 to 28 for G7 and NATO summits, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday.

"President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will travel to Schloss Elmau in southern Germany on June 25 to attend the G7 Leaders’ Summit," she revealed. 

According to Jean-Pierre, Biden and his G7 counterparts will discuss a wide array of global issues that she claimed were "the most pressing", which include G7 support for Ukraine, economic and democratic resilience, the climate crisis, the development of infrastructure, global health, and the ongoing energy and food crisis.

The G7 countries had held their last meeting in Germany last month, where they discussed the Ukraine war, China, and the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, Afghanistan, Africa, and West Asia.

Though the spokesperson attributed the food and energy crisis to "Russia's war of aggression", the crisis began emerging following the Western sanctions imposed on Russia, which drove Moscow out of the energy market and surged energy prices all over the world, driving up the record inflation in the United States.

Tensions between the West on one end and China and Russia on the other have been spiraling as of late due to pre-existing economic strains between Beijing and Washington, in addition to the war in Ukraine and China refusing to impose sanctions on Russia over the crisis.

The spokesperson also revealed that Biden will attend the NATO summit in Madrid, where she said allied leaders would endorse a new Strategic Concept that will guide NATO's transformation over the next decade.

The visit to Europe comes amid a heavy onslaught of sanctions from the US and the majority of the continent against Russia in light of the Ukraine war. The NATO summit, on the other hand, comes as the alliance is trying to grant accession to Finland and Sweden, which has been blocked by Turkey.

Ankara's stance on Kurdish armed groups in Syria has soured relations with Finland and Sweden, as they refuse to brand the PKK as a terrorist group. 

President Erdogan is currently trying to pressure both countries into branding the PKK as terrorists in exchange for their accession to NATO.
