BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

President Joe Biden said Friday that federal legislation offered the shortest route to the restoration of US abortion rights and called on voters to vote for "pro-choice" legislators in the coming elections to defy an "out of control" Supreme Court.    

Following pressure to take a harder line on supporting women’s reproductive rights, Biden signed an executive order that aims to shore up access to abortion after what he called the court's "terrible, extreme" decision to take away terminating a pregnancy's constitutional right. 

However, having limited room for maneuver on the issue, Biden brought up November's midterm elections as the most effective response, urging people to "Vote, vote, vote," in an appeal particularly aimed at women.

"The fastest route to restore Roe is to pass a national law codifying Roe, which I will sign immediately upon its passage at my desk. We cannot wait," Biden said, referring to the Roe v Wade ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion in 1973.

Biden also vowed to veto any effort to pass a federal ban on abortion should Republicans take control of Congress.

"We cannot allow an out-of-control Supreme Court working in conjunction with extremist elements of the Republican Party to take away freedoms and our personal autonomy," he said.    

The US president has been criticized by his own Democratic Party for perceived inaction since June 24, following the Supreme Court ruling, after which several states have banned or severely restricted abortion, and others are expected to follow suit.
