BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

Israeli media reported on Sunday the date for the signature of the maritime border demarcation agreement between Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories.

"We are going to have a deal - hopefully sign it - this Thursday," the US mediator Amos Hochstein said, according to the Israeli newspaper Maariv.

Israeli media quoted the office of the Israeli Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, as saying that "the special cabinet meeting will be held on Thursday morning to vote on the agreement with Lebanon."

Israeli Kan channel predicted that the signing of the agreement would take place "either Thursday or Friday."

In response to a question regarding “things that are expected to happen next week, which will certainly affect the elections,” Gilli Cohen, a political affairs commentator for the Israeli Kan channel, said, “It is true, that the agreement is expected to be signed either on Thursday or on Friday."

"It is not only that it cannot take place after the elections, but it must take place before the end of October, and this is the timetable, from here the estimate ranges between Thursday or Friday," Cohen said.

According to the Israeli Channel 12, Lapid "wants to speed up" the signing of the agreement with Lebanon, and at "the moment he has the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, he will go ahead and gather the government."

This comes after Lebanese President Michel Aoun announced, on October 13, Lebanon's agreement to adopt the final version of the maritime border demarcation agreement, stressing that it "responds to Lebanon's demands and preserves its rights in full," and that, "Lebanon did not concede not even a kilometer to 'Israel', as we obtained the entire Qana field, and refused to recognize the Israeli buoys' line."

In a televised speech, Aoun said, "This agreement responds to the Lebanese demands and preserves our rights in full," stressing that this achievement would not have been completed without the unified Lebanese stance.

"Lebanon did not pave the way to any kind of the rejected normalization," the Lebanese President said, hoping that the end of the negotiations would be "a promising beginning that lays the foundation for an economic revival that Lebanon needs through completing oil exploration." 

The Lebanese President stressed that "Lebanon did not concede not even a kilometer to 'Israel', as we obtained the entire Qana field, and refused to recognize the Israeli buoys' line."

A few days ago, Aoun called on TotalEnergies company to quickly begin exploring Block 9 in the Mediterranean sea, "to make up for the time lost due to indirect negotiations to demarcate the southern maritime borders."
