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.

On Friday, federal police in Brazil raided the home of former President Jair Bolsonaro's nephew in connection with the January 8 riots and storming of government facilities in the city by far-right protesters.

Police said Leonardo Rodrigues de Jesus, nicknamed Leo Indio by Bolsonaro followers, was one of the targets of a series of raids that resulted in 11 arrests in various states. It was the first time a member of Bolsonaro's family has been implicated in the investigations into the Brasilia unrest.

According to police, those under investigation could face charges of crimes against democracy and criminal association.

Police officers raided Leo Indio's residences in Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro on Friday, according to Brazilian news website G1, adding that federal police confiscated several goods without disclosing the list.

It is worth noting that the relevant warrants were issued by the country's Supreme Court as part of the third phase of Operation Lesa Patria, which was investigating the unrest in Brasilia, where Bolsonaro's supporters temporarily seized and looted the Supreme Court, Congress, and the presidential palace.

11 arrest warrants and 27 search and seizure warrants have been reportedly issued, and six persons have already been arrested.

On January 1, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in as the president of Brazil to begin a four-year term for the third time in his life.

The new Brazilian President vowed to haul Brazil out of Jair Bolsonaro’s era of “devastation” and barbarism. He promised to lead Brazil into a new chapter of environmental protection, social progress, and a “rational democratic” government.

As soon as the election results were announced, Bolsonaro supporters took to the streets to protest Lula's victory, with over 100 protests reported on October 31, which blocked major roads and highways in 18 different states.

The former President is currently in the US. Bolsonaro lost the Brazilian presidential election in October and flew to the United States on December 30, a day before his term expired, so missing the inauguration of his successor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
