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.

The dominant opposition party in Pakistan, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), announced on Monday that the party is scheduled to resume its protest march on November 9.

The march was halted on November 3 following an assassination attempt against PTI's leader, Imran Khan, which left him with a wounded leg.

In previous marches, the crowd was often met with police brutality, often leaving several people injured, particularly in the May 25 march.

The party had decided at the time to halt the protests to avoid further violence.

On October 21, Pakistan's electoral authorities announced that they ruled out former Prime Minister Imran Khan from running in the upcoming elections scheduled to be held between August and November next year.

The reason, according to the authorities, was that Khan failed to share details of the gifts, incomes, and proceeds he had received. 

In August, the country's coalition government filed a motion against Khan over this. 

As a result, Khan was unseated from the National Assembly and was barred from running for political office for five years.

Khan was ousted back in April by the opposition through a no-confidence motion, as lawmakers from his party, Tehreek-e-Insaf, boycotted the vote. 

Since Khan's ousting, there has been a plethora of nationwide protests calling for a snap election as the country sinks further into economic devastation - particularly after floods took the lives of hundreds and destroyed numerous infrastructures. 

The Election Commission of Pakistan said the new election will not be held until May 2023.
