BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must also prioritize rebuilding the state economically and socially, as well as returning the depositors’ funds.
Sheikh Qassem: The second priority is reconstruction, and I call on the Lebanese government to place this item first on the agenda of its next session.
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must prioritize ending Israeli aggression, its violations, its occupation, and securing the release of prisoners.
Sheikh Qassem: We are part of the new era and partners in its benefits, and we want those who previously took certain stances for specific reasons to reconsider them in order to build the country.
Sheikh Qassem: We say to the servants of Israel: return to your national sense so that we can work together.
Sheikh Qassem: The servants of "Israel"; their sedition has destroyed Lebanon, and they always act in ways that break those around them and destabilize the country.
Sheikh Qassem: You did not succeed in eliminating us, and you will not succeed. No single component can be isolated, and you will not achieve through pressure what you failed to achieve through war.
Sheikh Qassem: Whoever thinks they can isolate the resistance is delusional.
Sheikh Qassem: The Lebanese state must act more and confront Israeli violations with greater strength.
Sheikh Qassem: Israel is now trying to eliminate the resistance through continued pressure and aggression, but by political means.

    Thousands of Jordanians demonstrated on Friday in the center of the capital, Amman.

Thousands of Jordanians took to the streets on Friday in the center of the capital, Amman, to protest the government's signing of the water-for-electricity agreement with the Israeli occupation - sponsored by the United States and the United Arab Emirates.

The rally was called for by the National Forum to Resist Normalization and Protect the Homeland, as well as partisan and union forces that oppose the signing of the agreement that took place on the sidelines of the COP27 Climate Summit in Egypt.

Demonstrators criticized what they called the continuation of tampering with the Jordanian constitution, chanting slogans rejecting all agreements with the Israeli occupation, such as the Wadi Araba agreement, the gas agreement, and ending with the recent water-for-electricity agreement.

According to the agreement, Jordan will supply the Israeli occupation with 600 megawatts of solar power capacity, through a solar photovoltaic power station in Jordan's southern desert. In return, "Israel" will supply Jordan with 200 million cubic meters of desalinated water through a special station on the Mediterranean.

Israeli Energy Minister Karine Elharrar had said the agreement was the "most significant" since the two signed a "peace" treaty in 1994.

International pressure exerted on Jordan to abandon its identity

On his part, Jordanian parliament member, Musa Hantash, expressed his rejection of any agreements concluded with the Israeli occupation.

In a press statement, Hantash pointed out that international pressure is being exerted on Jordan to abandon its identity, distort its compass, and be forced to sign the water-for-electricity agreement with the Israeli occupation, despite the existence of other alternatives.

The Jordanian politician explained that the National Water Carrier will provide Jordanians with 300 million cubic meters of water, while the water-for-electricity agreement with the Israeli occupation will provide them with 200 million cubic meters, which is 100 million cubic meters less.

It is noteworthy that the National Water Carrier is a project to desalinate the Red Sea water from the city of Aqaba in the south and transfer it to the governorates of Jordan in the north, with quantities ranging between 250 and 300 million cubic meters, and at a cost of up to one billion dollars in its first phase.

The Jordanian government previously announced that it would start implementing the project in 2024.
