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.

The anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba is an occasion to confirm the continuation of the Palestinian people's struggle for their sacred right of return, which will not be lost as long as Palestinian generations adhere to this right, said the head of the EuroPal Forum in the UK, Zaher Birawi.

EuroPal is a London-based NGO that advocates for Palestine and the Palestinian people.

Birawi made his remarks during a demonstration in London on the 75th anniversary of Nakba, where the protesters matched toward the British cabinet headquarters chanting in support of Palestine and denouncing the Israeli occupation.

Birawi called on the British government to recognize its historical responsibility for the suffering of Palestinians since the Balfour Declaration until today, by immediately halting support for the occupying entity, stopping all forms of support for it in international forums, ending the Israeli occupation, and establishing an independent Palestinian state with its capital Al-Quds.

He also confirmed that the forum continues to put pressure on the British government through all available means, including the various events on this anniversary, to take practical measures to achieve these demands, the least of which is imposing sanctions on "Israel" to force it to abide by international laws and human rights and to stop its crimes and attacks on our people in all of Palestine, and in the Gaza Strip in particular.

"Britain's failure to recognize its historical responsibility for the suffering of the Palestinians, and its continued support for the occupation and its silence on its crimes against the Palestinians, will always make Britain, in the eyes of the Palestinians, a partner in these crimes," he said.
