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.

Protests unfolded in Cape Town as part of a series of planned demonstrations in South Africa to express solidarity with the government's "genocide" case against "Israel", as reported by AFP.

Demonstrators in Cape Town gathered on the steps of the high court and displayed banners with messages such as "Stop the genocide" and "Boycott apartheid Israel."

“The important issue for us is that there is a ceasefire, that military actions are stopped in Gaza,” said Seehaam Samaai, a lawyer in attendance, as quoted by AFP.

“No armed attack on a state territory no matter how serious … can provide justification for or defend breaches of the [genocide] convention,” South African Justice Minister Ronald Lamola told the court in The Hague.

Concurrently, pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside the International Court of Justice in The Hague where the initial ICJ hearing of South Africa's petition concerning "Israel's" ongoing aggression on Gaza took place.

#SouthAfrica at #TheHague says it has recognized the ongoing Nakba of the #Palestinian people since 1948, which has systematically and forcibly dispossessed, displaced, and fragmented the Palestinian people, adding that "Israel" is subjecting Palestinians to Apartheid.… pic.twitter.com/nb9zl4jWgv

It is worth noting that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concluded the first day of hearings in the case accusing "Israel" of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. South Africa initiated the lawsuit in December, receiving support from various nations amid widespread international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
