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.

Former US President Donald Trump, on Wednesday, answered questions under oath in a lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, who has accused Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room. 

This gave Carroll's lawyers a chance to interrogate Trump about the allegations, in addition to statements he made in 2019 when she revealed her story publicly for the first time. 

“We’re pleased that on behalf of our client, E. Jean Carroll, we were able to take Donald Trump’s deposition today. We are not able to comment further," said Kaplan Hecker & Fink in a statement - the firm representing Carroll. 

Trump slammed the allegations as a "hoax and a lie." His lawyers have spent years delaying his deposition in the lawsuit, which was filed when he was president at the time. Last week, a federal judge rejected Trump's latest response for another postponement.

“My client was pleased to set the record straight today. This case is nothing more than a political ploy like many others in the long list of witch hunts against Donald Trump," said Alina Habba, the attorney representing Trump. 

Trump's lawyers were supposed to question Carroll last Friday - however, the lawyers have not disclosed whether Trump's question was done on-site or remotely. 

Trump's answers could be used as evidence in the upcoming trial; the former president has not yet faced any criminal charges related to the allegations against him. The deadline for criminal charges over sexual assaults which occurred in the 1990s has expired long ago.

In reaction to this expiry date, Carroll chose to sue Trump over defamation comments that he made in 2019 when he denied committing any crime, arguing her point of view that his comments damaged her reputation and that his denials were attacks on her credibility and character. 

As of recent, New York lawmakers allowed sex assault survivors one year to report claims to courts. That rule will rise into effect in late November, when Carroll's lawyers says she intends to file a suit.
