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?

Lebanese President Michel Aoun signed a decree on Sunday accepting the resignation of the caretaker government headed by Najib Mikati, to announce the matter at the "appropriate time" before the end of his mandate on Monday, according to a source who spoke to Sputnik.

Aoun announced yesterday that neither Mikati nor his team have the will to form a government and said that Mikati meets the demands of all parties, currents, and parliamentary blocs, except for the demand of the Free Patriotic Movement, considering that it is not acceptable to place a guardianship over the movement or the Strong Lebanon bloc.

Lebanese President Michel Aoun will end his term tomorrow as President of the Republic after a period of 6 years without a candidate for the presidential position announced yet.

It is noteworthy that Lebanon is currently governed by a transitional government, with Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati charged six months ago with forming a government. 

The political vacuum threatens to deepen the country's crises in light of an accelerating economic collapse that started three years ago and a caretaker government with limited powers, with the failure of political forces to form a government since May.

Large crowds in and around the presidential palace

Since the early hours of the morning, supporters of the Free Patriotic Movement, founded by Aoun, have flocked to the vicinity of the palace in the Baabda area overlooking Beirut.  

The Lebanese parliament has so far been unable to agree on a successor to Aoun, who has the power to sign bills, appoint new prime ministers, and give the green light to government formations before parliament votes on them.
