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.

Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday that Germany will change its constitution in order to modernize its armed forces.

Scholz said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the German government has decided to make 100 billion euros available in order to implement the plan to modernize the Bundeswehr.

The German chancellor said that they are implementing this step in order to defend Germany "under the new conditions created by Russia," adding that global turbulence caused by the Ukraine conflict is a threat to not only Kiev, but the entire world order.

"Not only Ukraine is in danger, but our system of international cooperation, which grew out of the 'Never again!' of two world wars. An order that binds might to right, outlaws violence, and guarantees freedom, security, and prosperity."

Moreover, Scholz declared that the war in Ukraine, coupled with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, might in fact reverse the progress the world was able to achieve over the past few decades and trigger "the world's first famine for decades."

Due to damaged supply chains and stalled agricultural production, the World Food Programme warned on May 8 that the crisis in Ukraine will drive up food costs and increase famine around the world.

Svenja Schulze, Germany's Minister for Economic Development and Cooperation, had also said on that day that the pandemic, droughts, and the war in Ukraine are driving up food prices to new highs, frightening the globe with the worst famine since World War II.
