BREAKING
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.

    Al-Barghouthi is serving the longest sentence in occupation prisons in the history of the captive movement.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that the Supreme Court of the Occupation in al-Quds will consider on Thursday morning, a petition submitted three years ago by prisoner Nael al-Barghouthi's lawyer, in which he objects to the decision to restore his life sentence.

The Club indicated that al-Barghouthi, 63, from the town of Kobar, Ramallah, was first arrested by the occupation in 1978 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was released in the "Wafa Al-Ahrar" deal in 2011 and regained freedom for only 32 months. 

In June 2014, al-Barghouthi was re-arrested and sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Two months after his sentence ended, the Israeli occupation restored his previous life sentence for 18 years under the pretext of a "secret file."

Al-Barghouthi is serving the longest sentence in the history of the captive movement, a total of 41 years, of which he continuously spent 34. 

During his time in prison, the prisoner lost most of his family members, the last of whom was his brother Omar, who was incarcerated for roughly 30 years. 

Al-Barghouthi's wife, liberated prisoner Iman Nafeh hoped her husband would be released, and considered his sentence illegal and inhumane, especially since he was released in a deal.

She also expects the intervention of international parties to exert pressure on the occupation to release her husband.
