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.

UK Justice Minister resigns over Partygate revelations

The UK's Justice Minister says the behavior of Boris Johnson is "inconsistent with the rule of law".

Since being fined by police for breaking Covid rules, Boris Johnson now has to contend with his first ministerial resignation, as Justice Minister David Wolfson has resigned, saying the Prime Minister's actions were "inconsistent with the rule of law."

Wolfson said it would be wrong that Johnson's conduct passes with constitutional impunity "especially when many in society complied with the rules at great personal cost, and others were fined or prosecuted for similar, and sometimes apparently more trivial, offences.”

The Tory minister added that he had “no option other than to tender my resignation”.

The minister's resignation is expected to reignite questions regarding Johnson's premiership, just hours after Conservative MP Nigel Mills also publicly stated that he would submit a letter of no confidence in the British prime minister.

Johnson's Partygate scandal began to surface again in late March after the Metropolitan police's decision to fine 20 people from Downing Street over Covid lockdown breaches.

Sue Gray, the civil servant charged with writing a report on the Partygate scandal that rocked the United Kingdom and showed that London was not practicing what it preached during the lockdown, has been left in the dark on the matter of which parties in Downing Street have merited fines, though officials have started receiving fines of a low £50 for attending the illegal gatherings.

10 Downing Street refused to reveal any pictures taken by official No 10 photographers regarding the Partygate scandal. In response, the Labour party called on Boris Johnson on April 6 to "come clean and release these photos."

The Cabinet office, however, refused to confirm or deny whether or not there are any photographs of the events in the cabinet room, leaving parties, or any party in Johnson's flat. Under freedom of information laws, official pictures were requested.

Downing Street argued that revealing the photographs would affect and influence the investigation.
