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.

In his speech at the memorial, in Jabaa, South Lebanon, Sheikh Qassem addressed the developments of Operation al-Aqsa Flood and occupied Palestine.

He emphasized that we are in the era of 'Resistance and victories", saying that, "we will not allow the arrogant powers and Israel to define the boundaries and path of our freedom."

He added that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was a "tremendous and significant act" that deeply altered the Israeli occupation for the worse. 

Sheikh Qassem affirmed that Israeli war crimes did accomplish any of the occupation's goals throughout its 50-day aggression on the Gaza Strip, stressing that the steadfastness of the formidable Palestinian people thwarted the occupation's hopes of turning the public against their Resistance.

Regarding the truce in Gaza, Qassem emphasized that the resilience of the Resistance in Gaza led to a prisoner exchange deal, stating that "Israel" reluctantly agreed to the truce on the Resistance's terms.

Qassem said, "We want the complete independence of our country and the full liberation of our land until the last inch."

Hezbollah has been actively supporting the Palestinian people in their plight against the Israeli occupation since October 8, one day after the breakout "Israel's" indiscriminate aggression on the Gaza Strip.
