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.

Amman describes the Israeli map as "provocative and baseless" and “falsely claims historical territorial rights for Israel."

Palestine and Jordan on Tuesday strongly denounced an Israeli map that inaccurately includes Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese territories as part of "Israel".

An official account on social media affiliated with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, named "Israel Speaks Arabic," shared an image of a map it claimed dated back to over 900 BCE. 

The account alleged that the map depicted the borders of the "Kingdoms of Israel and Judah," claiming that what it referred to as the "Kingdom of Israel" existed "3,000 years ago."

هل تعلم ان مملكة إسرائيل كانت قائمة منذ 3000 سنة؟

أول ملك حكمها لمدة 40 عاما كان الملك شاؤول (1050--1010) ق. م. ثم تلاه الملك داود الذي حكمها 40 عاما تقريبا (1010-970 ) ق.م. وعقبه الملك سليمان الذي حكم ايضا لمدة 40 عاما في الفترة (970-931) ق.م.

Palestinian Authority spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh condemned the map as "a blatant violation of all international legitimacy resolutions and international law."

He emphasized that Israeli provocations, coupled with attacks by illegal settlers, necessitate "an urgent international stance to stop what the Palestinian people are being subjected to from war and destruction."

Abu Rudeineh also urged the incoming US administration "to work to stop all Israeli policies, actions, and procedures that do not serve security and peace in the region."

On its part, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry described the Israeli map as "provocative and baseless" and “falsely claims historical territorial rights for Israel."

The ministry noted that the map's publication coincides with "racist statements" made by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich regarding the "annexation" of the occupied West Bank and settlement construction in the Gaza Strip.

In March 2023, Smotrich spoke at an event in Paris, standing beside a map of "Greater Israel" that depicted Jordan as part of the occupation entity.

These Israeli actions, Amman asserted, “would neither diminish Jordan's sovereignty nor alter the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people."

The ministry also called on the Israeli occupation government "to immediately cease these provocative actions and stop the reckless statements made by Israeli officials, which are only fueling tensions and contributing to the instability of the region."
