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.

Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad and his Algerian counterpart Ramtane Lamamra held a press conference in Damascus, emphasizing the depth of relations between the two countries.

Mekdad hailed Algeria’s stance on Syria, stressing that “Algerian-Syrian relations are historical and distinguished”.

“Algeria has stood by the Syrian people throughout the crisis, denouncing terrorism and Western sanctions on Syria, “he tersely stated.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Mekdad welcomed "any Arab coordination and consultations to address all the challenges that afflict the nation."

He also assured that channels of communication with Algeria along other Arab countries are open in spite of Damascus' status in the Arab League.

"Syria hopes that Arab wounds will be repaired as soon as possible," the Syrian foreign minister added, noting that "the old way of dealing with crises between Arabs is no longer useful."

"Today, national Arab interest is our main concern," he added.

During the press conference, Algeria's foreign minister stated, "I conveyed a written message from President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to President Bashar Al-Assad, who responded to the letter," emphasizing that "the current circumstances require dedicating consultations" between the two leaders.

Lamamra announced an agreement between Algeria and Syria that aims at encouraging Syrian and Algerian businesses to strengthen economic ties.

"Syria holds a special place in the hearts of Algerians”, he stressed.

The top Algerian diplomat assured that the recovery of Syria’s natural ties with Arab neighbors is positive.

Lamamra warned that Syria's absence from the Arab League is detrimental to joint Arab cooperation.

Algerian Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra arrived in Damascus on Sunday, marking the first such official visit in six years.

Algeria was among the first countries to call for Syria’s return to the Arab League in the next Arab summit, scheduled for March in Algeria, in which it is expected to discuss restoring Syria's membership.
