Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

The Malaysian delegation to the ASEAN-US Special Summit, which will be held in Washington from May 12 to 13, will be led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah said the Prime Minister would be accompanied to the special summit by International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan.

The conference will kick off with a series of meetings on May 12, followed by the summit at 3 pm on May 13, when US President Joe Biden will meet with ASEAN heads of state.

According to Saifuddin, the prime minister is expected to raise a number of regional and international issues during the meeting, including Myanmar.

"Malaysia considers this meeting important because the United States is one of ASEAN's dialogue partners," he told reporters on Saturday.

Apart from Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Myanmar junta Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, all eight ASEAN heads of government will attend the special summit.

Duterte is unable to attend due to the country's elections, and Myanmar junta Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was not invited due to the country's internal political turmoil.

The United States last hosted the special summit in February 2016 in Sunnylands, California.

The summit was scheduled to take place in Las Vegas in March 2020, but it was canceled due to the Covid-19 global pandemic.

It is worth mentioning that Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam formed ASEAN in 1967.

Cambodia is the ASEAN Chair for 2022, while Indonesia is the ASEAN and US Country Coordinator.
