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?

On the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his condolences to the martyrs of the genocide, noting that nothing can "justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people."

"This International Day of Solidarity comes during one of the darkest chapters in the history of the Palestinian people. I am horrified by the death and destruction that have engulfed the region, which is overwhelmed with pain, anguish and heartache," he said in a statement.

"I express my sincere condolences to the thousands of families who are mourning loved ones. This includes members of our own United Nations family killed in Gaza, representing the largest loss of personnel in the history of our Organization."

He reiterated his demand for a lasting ceasefire and the liberation of captives held by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, as well as Palestinian prisoners unfairly detained in Israeli prisons.

He further called for "unrestricted access to lifesaving aid, the release of all hostages, the protection of civilians, and an end to violations of international humanitarian law."

On Monday, the mediator from Qatar stated that the initial four-day ceasefire has been prolonged by an additional two days. This extension maintains a temporary halt in the ongoing seven weeks of aggression, which has resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and extensive destruction in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Under the current temporary ceasefire agreement, the Resistance has released a total of 69 captives, and in return, "Israel" has freed 150 Palestinian prisoners.

Yesterday, Guterres characterized the extended truce between "Israel" and Hamas as "a glimpse of hope and humanity." However, he cautioned that the duration was insufficient to address the humanitarian needs of the Gaza Strip.

The United Nations has been providing humanitarian aid to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt. Additionally, the organization seeks access to the "Kerem Shalom" border crossing, which is under the control of "Israel", in order to further facilitate the delivery of assistance to the region.
