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.

President Joe Biden stated, via a White House statement on Sunday, during the East Asia Summit in Phnom Penh that Washington will "vigorously" compete with China and voice out the country's "violations of human rights" while also making sure that the rivalry does not escalate into a confrontation.

The statement read, "President Biden also commented on U.S-PRC relations, underscoring that the United States will compete vigorously with the PRC and speak out regarding the PRC’s human rights abuses while keeping lines of communication open and ensuring competition does not veer into conflict."

The US president again stressed the significance of preserving peace and stability on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

In addition, the statement said that Biden denounced North Korea's threats and Russia's activities in Ukraine.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that the United States has inflated the passage of its warships through the Taiwan Strait.

"The Chinese people are firmly determined to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a media briefing when asked about the American official's visit.

"The attempt by the US to show support to Taiwan will be in vain no matter who it sent. China urges the US to abide by the one-China principle," he said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson's statement came in response to a visit by a delegation of former US officials to Taipei earlier in the year, which was explained by US President Joe Biden as a move to 'reassure the island's people' following the war in Ukraine.
