BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammad bin Abdul Rahman al-Thani confirmed that the Israeli invasion of Rafah caused a setback in the negotiations on a truce in Gaza. 

During the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha today, the Qatari Prime Minister said in the past few weeks, an increasing momentum was witnessed, but unfortunately, things have not moved in the right direction, and "we are now almost in a state of stagnation." 

He emphasized the Israeli occupation is unclear on how it will stop the war on Gaza adding that his country will continue to mediate between the Palestinian Resistance and "Israel" regarding a ceasefire, and will not halt negotiations despite all the challenges. 

Bin Abdul Rahman al-Thani stressed that the office of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas in Doha will remain open as long as the war continues, and that there is a need to communicate with the movement. 

He also communicated Qatar's stance that a single Palestinian government should exist in both the West Bank and Gaza based on a Palestinian consensus.

Biden remarks on captives 'setback' for ceasefire negotiations: Hamas

Hamas said on May 12 that it followed "with dismay" the remarks made by President Biden that a ceasefire in Gaza would be possible if the movement released the Israeli captives, calling the statements a "setback" to negotiations.

"We condemn this position by the US President, which we consider a setback from the outcomes of the latest round of negotiations, which led to the movement's agreement to the proposal put forward by mediators" in Egypt and Qatar, with the knowledge and oversight of the American mediator, Hamas expressed in a statement.

Biden claimed on May 11 that a ceasefire in Gaza would be possible "tomorrow" if Hamas released the captives it held on October 7.

"Israel said it's up to Hamas, if they wanted to do it, we could end it tomorrow. And the ceasefire would begin tomorrow," the US President told the crowd of about 100 people at a fundraiser outside Seattle.

Meanwhile, Hamas affirmed that it has shown the necessary flexibility at all stages of the talks to halt the Israeli aggression and move toward achieving an agreement.

This approach, according to the movement, was crowned by agreeing to the latest proposal, before Netanyahu and his government "rushed to overturn" this course by launching their aggression on the Palestinian people in Rafah, Jabalia, and Gaza, while also disregarding the lives of Israeli captives.

Hamas also accused the Israeli occupation government of "escalating their brutal massacres in various areas of the Gaza Strip" and "reaffirming their pursuit of continuing the genocidal war in Gaza."
