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.

Iran has welcomed the final statement of the Arab League summit which called for the defense of the people of Palestine and the condemnation of the war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza. 

In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, Iran stressed the importance of unity among more Islamic nations to put an end to the crimes "Israel" has been relentlessly committing in the Gaza Strip.

However, the Islamic Republic denounced a column corresponding to the Gulf trio islands, saying they were an integral part of the country's territory.

Iran: Ministry of Foreign Affairs: We welcome the paragraphs of the final statement in defense of the oppressed Palestinian people and condemnation of war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The 33rd Arab League summit was held on Thursday in Manama, Bahrain, and was attended by 22 member states. 

The summit's statement included a proposition to deploy international peacekeeping forces in Palestine until the so-called two-state solution is established, while simultaneously condemning the Israeli control of the Rafah crossing. 

UN spokesman Farhan Haq said that the deployment of peacekeeping missions depends on Security Council mandates and conditions on the ground. He further stressed the need for acceptance by involved parties and proper conditions for UN presence.

"Creating peacekeeping missions depends on a variety of things. One of them… is a mandate from the Security Council," Haq said. "Then of course, there need to be conditions on the ground including acceptance by the parties of a UN presence, and that too is something that would need to be established."

The summit further called for convening an international peace conference that would establish Palestine's right to an independent state.
