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 Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, on Tuesday evening, that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has decided to resume the work of its diplomatic mission in Syria.

A statement by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the resumption of the work of the diplomatic mission in Damascus comes “out of the brotherhood ties that unite the peoples of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Syrian Arab Republic, and out of keenness to contribute to the development of joint Arab action and the strengthening of security and stability in the region.”

The statement indicated that the decision took into account the decision of the Council of Arab Foreign Ministers, issued Sunday in Cairo, to resume the participation of Syrian delegations in the meetings of the Council of the League of Arab States and all its affiliated organizations and agencies.

Syrian Foreign Ministry on its part stated that Damascus resumed the work of its diplomatic mission in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
