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.

    Hezbollah and Amal: The one and only path to resolving crises is for there to be a strong, trustworthy government.

The leaderships of Hezbollah and the Amal movement in Lebanon announced their assent to a return to Lebanese government meetings on Saturday in order to approve the budget and discuss the economic recovery plan.

The leaderships of Hezbollah and Amal clarified in a statement that they announce their return to participating in government sessions to address the needs of Lebanon's people and to prevent being accused of obstruction.

According to the statement, Lebanon is currently going through an unprecedented economic and financial crisis amid a complicated political situation. It was for these reasons that the two found their refraining from participating in the cabinet to be both political and constitutional. 

The one and only pathway to resolving crises in Lebanon, the statement said, is to have a strong and trustworthy government, reminding that the current judge investigating the Beirut Port blast is committing legal violations and is circumventing the constitution and that legal, political, and public attempts to push the judge to abide by the law have been obstructed.

Lebanese PM Najib Mikati welcomed the two movements' joint statement and said that their return is in line with his calls for everyone to assume their national responsibilities, particularly during this sensitive time for Lebanon.

1/3 صدر عن المكتب الاعلامي لرئيس مجلس الوزراء نجيب ميقاتي البيان الاتي:
يرحّب دولة رئيس مجلس الوزراء بالبيان الصادر عن حركة أمل وحزب الله بشأن العودة الى المشاركة في جلسات مجلس الوزراء، ما يتلاقى مع الدعوات المتكررة التي اطلقها دولته لمشاركة الجميع ...

— رئاسة مجلس الوزراء 🇱🇧 (@grandserail) January 15, 2022

Mikati also tweeted that he will call the cabinet to a meeting as soon as the draft law for the budget is received from the Finance Ministry.

Hashem to Al Mayadeen: Amal and Hezbollah's statement refutes allegations made against them

Development and Liberation bloc MP, Qasem Hashem commented on the statement saying it refutes allegations made against Hezbollah and Amal.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Hashem said that this move has opened the door toward what the Lebanese people care about in terms of their worsening living conditions, adding that this is a positive step made in good faith.

Earlier today, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said that the judicial investigator into the Beirut Port blast, Tariq Bitar, and those standing behind him are the direct reason behind the obstruction of constitutional institutions.

Qassem said it was strange that Bitar still retains his position while 21 motions to remove him from the investigation were filed against him after he caused a commotion in the judiciary. 

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had said in October of last year that Bitar is exploiting the victims’ blood in service of political goals as he continues the path set by his predecessor.
