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.

  • Rishi Sunak makes promises to restore economic stability in UK
    Newly-appointed British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak promised the British parliament that his administration will be restoring economic stability after his predecessor's tax plans triggered market turmoil. 

Sunak, since taking on his role as PM, ripped up a number of Liz Truss' policies frustrating the country, in addition to reinstating the ban on fracking and putting under review large-scale deregulation policies in the economy, initially part of Truss' plans.

"We will have to take difficult decisions to restore economic stability and confidence," Sunak told the House of Commons. "We will do this in a fair way."

"I will always protect the most vulnerable. We did it in COVID and we will do it again," he said.

Conservatives perceive Sunak as a "safe pair of hands" in hopes that he will bring stability to the economy heading toward an inevitable recession.

The newly-appointed British Prime Minister on Wednesday postponed an eagerly awaited budget plan, which is due next week after a meeting with his cabinet. 

His Labour opponent, Keir Starmer, called for an early election, which Sunak ruled out as not due for at least 2 years. Sunak's political campaign promised stability and fiscal rectitude after King Charles III appointed him.

"We will have to take difficult decisions to restore economic stability and confidence," Sunak told MPs recently, also revealing that his Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt would set out a detailed plan "in just a few weeks."

"What I can say, as we did during COVID, we will always protect the most vulnerable, we will do this in a fair way," Sunak insisted.

Jeremy Hunt announced that there will be a full budget statement on November 17 pertaining to the government's tax and spending plans, according to Hunt. "Now, we have a new prime minister and the prospect of much longer-term stability for the economy," he said. 

Although Sunak promised to restore "trust" and "integrity" in the government after Liz Truss' resignation, critics are saying he already undermined his vows just by appointing hardline right-winger Suella Braverman as Interior Minister.
