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?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation is conducting the same practices in Gaza employed by Nazi Germany in its wars, and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has surpassed Adolf Hitler in his "genocidal methods".

"Is it possible to look at what Israel has inflicted on the people of Gaza for months and see it as legitimate for Israel to bomb hospitals, kill children, oppress civilians, and condemn innocent people to hunger, thirst, and lack of medicine under various excuses? What did Hitler do in the past? He oppressed and killed people in concentration camps," Erdogan said in an interview with Greek newspaper Kathimerini.

"Wasn't Gaza turned into an open-air prison not only after Oct. 7, but also for years beforehand? Weren't the people there condemned to limited resources for years, almost like a concentration camp? Who is responsible for the most brutal and systematic mass killings in Gaza after Oct. 7?"

"Netanyahu has reached a level that would make Hitler jealous with his genocidal methods. We are talking about Israel; which targets ambulances, hits food distribution points, and opens fire on aid convoys," he said.

This is not the first time that the Turkish president likens Netanyahu to the late Nazi leader.

In December, Erdogan said there is "no distinction" between Netanyahu's actions in the attacks on Gaza and the deeds of Hitler.

"How do you (Netanyahu) differ from Hitler? These (actions) will make us look for Hitler as well," he said then. "Is there anything Netanyahu does that is less than Hitler? No."

Months later, Turkey announced suspending trade agreements with the occupation entity with the toll of martyrs in Gaza due to the ongoing war nearing 35,000.

On May 2nd, the Turkish leadership announced Ankara halted all exports and imports to and from "Israel," which recorded $6.8 billion in 2023.

However, the ban is not permanent. Turkish authorities stated that the lifting of sanctions is conditional upon "Israel's" decision to agree to a permanent ceasefire.

"We decided to stop exports and imports to and from Israel until a permanent ceasefire is achieved (in Gaza) and humanitarian aid is allowed without interruption," Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat said after the decision was announced.
