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.

On the one-year anniversary of the start of the Ukraine war, French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen suggested in a letter that her country should host a peace conference between Ukraine and Russia.

"On the occasion of this tragic anniversary, France should initiate a peace conference that would give the prospect of a peaceful and speedy end of the conflict to the warring sides, their unfortunate populations, and the world," Le Pen said in an open letter.

Le Pen claimed that France was uniquely positioned to arbitrate the issue, denouncing other foreign leaders for engaging in "irresponsible" bellicose statements that, rather than calming tensions, increased the likelihood of a wider flare-up in Europe and around the world.

"It is often more difficult to make peace than to let yourself be carried away by a string of events, bloc mentality and unchecked emotion. It is a quality of great powers to know how to rise above it and look calmly for diplomatic solutions," the letter read.

Le Pen's remarks come shortly after French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi agreed that both countries share a common objective to push toward the end of the war in Ukraine, as per Macron's office.

It is worth noting that Wang said that Chinese President Xi Jinping would by the end of this month present a "peace proposal" that would outline Beijing's position on the war in Ukraine.
