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.

On Monday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Germany and Turkey support establishing a ceasefire in Ukraine as soon as possible, calling on Putin to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. 

 "Both of us, me and [Turkish] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, fully united in condemning Russia's violent military actions in Ukraine," Scholz said at a briefing after meeting with Turkish president Erdogan. 

German Chancellor also stated: "We are also fully united that a ceasefire must prevail at the earliest possible moment," adding that "It is of utmost importance now that people's lives will no longer be in danger."

"Safe corridors are needed so that people can safely leave dangerous areas," Scholz said at the briefing.

Scholz commented that Russia is drifting apart from the international community "bomb by bomb" and ask Putin "to stop," adding that only diplomatic means can resolve the current conflict. 

Germany's chancellor emphasized on the importance of talks between Moscow and Kiev, and claimed that he was holding negotiations with both sides as well as France's Macron himself. He also welcomed Erdogan's efforts in support of dialogue between Ukraine and Russia. 

"Anything that makes negotiations possible helps," Scholz said. 

He claimed that closing the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles is an important asset to the de-escalation procedures, alongside saying that Berlin and Ankara are ensuring that Ukraine maintains its defense in the war. 

Although Germany has been advocating for peace, in the background the European power has also been acquiring F-35s from the US while its hospitals have been banning Russian and Belarusian patients. "

We would like Ukraine to be able to defend. We do this through financial aid, humanitarian aid, though all the steps that led to arms aid from Germany and Turkey," Scholz concluded.
