BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

The chief of staff to Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Tal Gan Zvi, quit on Monday, less than two weeks after another key aide left, dealing a twin blow to a leader who has yet to finish his first year in office.

The coalition that was led by Bennett took a hit days ago after legislator Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi dropped out of the Knesset on Thursday for several reasons. She mainly cited the Israeli occupation and police brutality perpetrated against Palestinians at journalist Shireen Abu Akleh's funeral.

Shireen Abu Akleh, famed Al Jazeera journalist and veteran reporter, was murdered on May 11 when Israeli occupation forces storming the Jenin refugee camp, occupied West Bank, shot her with a live bullet to the head as she was covering the events of the storming.

The occupation PM's office issued no explanation for Tal Gan Zvi's resignation after a decade at Bennett's side.

Gan Tzvi was considered Bennett's close adviser, having accompanied him since the beginning of his career and kept the right-wing coalition at bay during the previous year.

Shimrit Meir, the prime minister's top adviser, resigned on May 13, citing "considerable sacrifices in (her) personal life" Bennett's two inner circles were led by Meir and Gan Tzvi, with Meir representing Bennett's new team and Gan Tzvi representing the old. The two leaders, as well as their teams, were known to dispute, and Israeli media recently reported on it.

"At the end of a decade of intense collaboration, and after a year in the challenging and loaded role of chief of staff, I asked to finish my role soon and turn to new horizons," stated Gan Tzvi.

The Israeli occupation is experiencing a political crisis caused by the resignation of the head of the coalition government and member of the Yamina party, Idit Silman, which led to the Bennett-Lapid coalition losing a majority in the Knesset.

Israeli media had quoted officials close to the former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying that the aim is to hold an election instead of forming a government in the current Knesset.
