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.

  • Erdogan orders government to begin working on Russian gas hub

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced his support for the Kremlin's idea of creating an international gas hub in Turkey, ordering his government to immediately present executive plans, according to Turkish media on Friday.

After the Nord Stream pipelines were blown up in a sabotage operation - likely by the United States and its allies - Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed sending natural gas to southern Europe through Turkey.

France was quick to react, with Emmanuel Macron's office saying it made "no sense"; an interesting remark after NATO explosives were found on the sabotage site in the NordStreams. 

Moscow already supplies Ankara with natural gas through the TurkStream link which passes through the Black Sea.

On his return flight from Kazakhstan where he spoke to Putin on Thursday, Erdogan revealed that the new distribution center would probably be established in Thrace, Bulgaria.

"We have a national distribution centre, but of course now this will be an international distribution centre," Erdogan told reporters. "There will be no waiting on this issue."

Gas prices have been increasing since February, and Europe has been scurrying to find alternative energy supplies after their own refusal to pay for Russian gas in rubles - and now, after the 2 pipelines have been bombed. 

This week, Putin revealed that Russia thwarted an attack on the TurkStream pipeline.

"We are quickly establishing a security net" for the new gas distribution centre project, Erdogan said.
