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.

Egypt's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Tarek el-Molla, said in an interview for CNBC on Sunday that Egypt will begin exporting gas to Lebanon by the end of 2021.

He also added that Egypt's gas production ranges between 7-7.2 billion cubic feet of gas per day, noting that exports are at around 1.8 billion cubic feet per day.

The Petroleum Minister had announced earlier this month that the necessary procedures to supply Lebanon with Egyptian natural gas were set to be completed within the next few weeks. On his part, the Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water, Walid Fayyad, had said that the talks in Egypt were successful, revealing discussions on swift mechanisms aimed at reactivating the agreements of transferring Egyptian gas to Lebanon through the Arab gas pipeline passing through Jordan and Syria.

250 MW of electricity

Fayyad revealed to Al Mayadeen last Thursday that the tripartite meeting on importing gas to Lebanon, which was signed in Jordan, will provide an approximate 250 MW and improve electricity by 2 to 3 hours.

Fayad stressed that the agreement was accomplished thanks to the international cover, specifically following US approval, noting that Washington asserted that the agreement will not run counter to the Caesar Act.

On that day, Jordanian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Kharabsheh concluded a meeting with Fayyad and their Syrian counterpart Ghassan al-Zamel and announced after the meeting that a final agreement was reached on supplying Lebanon with electricity through Syria. 

Jordan had already hosted a meeting early in September to look into increasing cooperation to deliver Egyptian gas to Lebanon through Jordan and Syria.
