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 Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Islamic State (ISIS) do not have a future in the region, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan asserted on Tuesday. 

During a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Erdogan said, "There is no place for the Kurdistan Workers' Party PKK and its extensions, nor for ISIS, in the future of the region," adding that terrorism would not be allowed to thrive in the region.

Erdogan also pointed out that Syria cannot recover on its own and must be urgently supported.

In this context, it is worth noting that the so-called Dawn of Freedom operations room, affiliated with the Turkish-backed National Army fighters, announced on Tuesday the launch of a military operation against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Ain al-Arab, located in the eastern Aleppo countryside and northern Raqqa in northern Syria.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Syria noted that "Turkey seeks to establish a security belt 30 kilometers wide along its border with Syria," confirming that it is "getting closer to achieving its goal."

He also reported that Turkish drones have been targeting SDF positions in the village of Bir Khat in the western countryside of Tal Abyad. 

Earlier, the Turkish Ministry of Defense stated that it would not allow "the PKK terrorist organization, which poses a serious threat to Syria's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and the security of our region, to benefit from the instability in the area," emphasizing that it is taking all necessary measures to maintain stability in the region.
