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.

The global approval of US leadership abroad has decreased in 2023, a Gallup report published today revealed. 

The report shows how the US is viewed internationally, as it flexes its influence on the world stage amid wars in Europe and the Middle East.

The survey which includes more than 130 countries showed that in between 2022 and 2023, the approval of the US remained at 41%. 

However, its disapproval rating has increased from 2022's 33% to reach 36% in 2023. 

Speaking with Axios, Gallup's managing editor for world news and the report's author Julie Ray said that these relatively consistent results could imply that "the world is collectively just kind of holding its breath" before November's election.

Ray added that even though the current US approval rating is below the 45% it recorded during US President Biden's first year in office, the stability in this rating is "probably a positive."

She said that Biden's rating in his third year in office was lower than that of former President Obama during his terms. He did manage to get a Gallup rating higher than those of Bush and Trump, however.

Due to the Ukraine funding stalling, the US approval in the country has decreased from 66% in 2022 to 53% in 2023. 

China has managed to topple the US's approval rating in Africa with an increase of 6% from 2022 to 58% in 2023 as the US scored a rating of 56% in 2023, a slight decrease from the year before. 

Russia's approval rating in Africa also witnessed an increase of 8% from the year before to reach 42% in 2023, the same approval rating it had before the Russian-Ukranian conflict. 

Well... Biden's approval rating in free fall over handling of war on Gaza

According to three surveys done exclusively for Newsweek by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, US voters' dissatisfaction with US President Joe Biden's participation in the situation has increased dramatically since December as revealed on April 6. 

The first survey of 1,500 eligible voters from around the country was conducted on October 29, 11 days following Biden's outspoken support of the Israeli occupation's war on Gaza, or as he likes to call it "self-defense".

The survey found that 37% of voters approved of his behavior and 35% disapproved.

Another poll on December 8 found that his approval rating spiked to 39% approval, compared to 33% who did not approve.

However, "much has happened since then," according to Newsweek.

Israeli strikes have killed over 33,000 Palestinians, including journalists, medical personnel, and aid workers.

Gaza is facing "unprecedented" destruction, and levels of hunger nearing famine, with most of its hospitals being completely out of commission due to Israeli raids and strikes.

More than half of respondents (51 percent) supported the policy in Redfield & Wilton Strategies' latest polling for Newsweek, which was conducted on March 23 to 24 with 1,500 voters, again with a 2.53 percent margin of error.

Just under a quarter (23 percent) "strongly" backed the plan, which was only opposed by 16%, yet the policy has not increased voters' positive opinion of Biden's handling of the Gaza crisis.
