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?

A Washington DC attorney ethics committee has recommended that Rudy Giuliani's legal license be revoked for his involvement in a failed lawsuit disputing the 2020 election results on behalf of then-President Donald Trump.

He risks disbarment in the capital after a review panel chastised him for pursuing the bogus claims about Trump's loss to President Joe Biden. 

The report by Panel members Robert Bernius, Carolyn Haynesworth-Murrell and Jay Brozost detailed that Giuliani “claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence”, in the Pennsylvania lawsuit that sought to overturn the results of the election.

From Biden's election up until the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, Giuliani and other Trump lawyers asserted false charges of election fraud, which were nearly universally dismissed by federal and state courts.

He is the third lawyer who may lose his right to practice law as a result of his work for Trump: Lin Wood relinquished his Georgia license last Monday, while John Eastman risks disbarment in California.

The panel noted that “Mr. Giuliani’s effort to undermine the integrity of the 2020 presidential election has helped destabilize our democracy,” and added that the misconduct " transcends all his past accomplishments.

They described the effort as "unparalleled in its destructive purpose and effect. He sought to disrupt a presidential election and persists in his refusal to acknowledge the wrong he has done.”

Giuliani helped to amplify Donald Trump’s false claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 election. His state law license was reportedly suspended under the pretext of undermining the integrity of the democratic process after propagating “demonstrably false and misleading” narratives.

His New York law license has also already been terminated for making misleading comments after the election. The work of the Washington review panel will now be heard by the DC Court of Appeals for a final determination.

Ted Goodman, a political consultant to Giuliani, urged Washington attorneys to back him up and characterized the panel's work as "the sort of behavior we’d expect out of the Soviet Union."

In the 2008 election, Giuliani attempted a campaign for the Republican presidential nomination that miserably failed.

In January, he was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors for alleged payments received from former President Donald Trump or his presidential campaign
