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 Lebanese government is pursuing diplomatic efforts to liberate the occupied outposts in South Lebanon from Israeli occupation, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Sunday.

Salam’s remarks came during a commemoration marking the 50th anniversary of the Lebanese Civil War, where he observed a minute of silence in downtown Beirut and laid a wreath at the Martyrs' Monument.

The Lebanese premier reiterated that the Israeli-occupied points in southern Lebanon hold no strategic or military value amid constant Israeli aerial surveillance through satellites and drones, pointing out that there is no justification for the continued presence of the occupation forces.

Regarding his upcoming visit to Syria on Monday, Salam expressed hope that he will return with good news about the missing persons in Syria.

Touching on the civil war's anniversary, Salam indicated that "a state must preserve memory so we may learn from our past and avoid repeating our mistakes."

"It is the state's responsibility to address the issue of the missing and kidnapped with seriousness and transparency," he stressed, emphasizing that “it’s time to build our state and restore trust in it” in order to establish a capable state that can protect Lebanon through its army.

The Lebanese prime minister's statements come as the Israeli occupation military continues to violate a ceasefire agreement reached with Lebanon in late November 2024, with more than 2,000 violations recorded, including attacks on areas in the South, the Bekaa Valley, and the Southern Suburb of Beirut.
