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.

Chilean President Gabriel Boric, in a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez during his visit to Santiago today, called for a ceasefire in Gaza.

"We are witnessing violent and unacceptable attacks on civilians by the Israeli army, resulting in thousands of casualties," Boric stated, adding that "what is happening in Gaza is entirely unjustified," emphasizing the necessity of "respecting international law."

On his part, Sanchez emphasized the "cohesion of both governments in both situations in Ukraine and Gaza," urging the necessity of "respecting international law, which has been compromised after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu killed more than 30,000 Palestinian citizens in Gaza, mostly women and children."

The Spanish Prime Minister also viewed the silence of the international community over the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza as "embarrassing and unacceptable."

This comes shortly after Chile announced Tuesday it will exclude Israeli firms from Latin America's biggest aerospace fair, to be held in Santiago in April.

Chile, which has the largest Palestinian population outside the Arab world, recalled its ambassador to "Israel" in late October to protest the Israeli occupation forces' "unacceptable violations of international humanitarian law" in Gaza.

"Chile strongly condemns and observes with great concern... these military operations," the Chilean Foreign Ministry said at the time, adding that the Israeli war on Gaza amounted to "collective punishment" of the Strip's civilian population.

It is also worth noting that Mexico and Chile joined calls in January for an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) into possible war crimes committed in the war.
