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 fourth cabinet comes amid setbacks and attacks from the radical right that launched a failed attempt to impeach the South American country's President Pedro Castillo.

Peru's leftist President Pedro Castillo appointed Tuesday a new cabinet, the fourth since he came to power six months ago, including replacing a prime minister who lasted just three days in office. 

"Yes, I swear," Anibal Torres, a lawyer taking over the role of prime minister, declared as he was sworn in by Castillo in a brief ceremony at the government palace in Lima. 

Torres, 79, has been the head of the Justice Ministry since the current government took power in July. 

Facing setbacks

Castillo's six months in office have been overloaded with setbacks and attacks from the radical right that launched a failed attempt to impeach him.

A week ago, Castillo appointed his third cabinet after the surprise resignation of Prime Minister Mirtha Vasquez due to disagreements over promotions in the police force. 

In his place, the President appointed lawyer and parliamentarian Hector Valer Pinto. Local media reported that the latter's wife and daughter had denounced him in 2016 for alleged domestic violence. 

Three days later, Castillo announced that he was going to "reshuffle" the cabinet again, marking the departure of Valer.

Race against time

Since 2017, Peru has experienced recurring instability after political leaders began pushing "vacancy" motions in Congress to abruptly get rid of presidents. 

This led the country to have three presidents in five days in November 2020. 

Torres now has 30 days to get a vote of confidence from Congress for the new cabinet. 

If the right-wing opposition-controlled Parliament denies him, Torres must resign and Castillo must form a fifth cabinet.
