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.

    Ukraine declares a state of emergency and calls up army reservists.

Ukraine's Security Council approved on Wednesday plans to declare a state of national emergency in all parts of the country, except in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

The measure, which must be formally approved by parliament, requires stepped-up document and vehicle checks, among other measures, the council's secretary Oleksiy Danilov pointed out.

Danilov mentioned that he would deliver a report to Ukraine's parliament later on Wednesday, with lawmakers expected to approve the added security measures this week.

The secretary noted that each of Ukraine's regions would be able to select which particular measures to apply, "depending on how necessary they might be."

"This could involve limiting certain types of transport, increased vehicle checks, or asking people to show this or that document," he added, calling it a "preventive" measure.

What is a state of emergency?

A state of emergency can be temporarily declared in Ukraine and some of its regions in the case of particularly dangerous man-made or natural events, which pose a threat to people's life.

The state may be imposed for a period not exceeding 30 days. If necessary, the president may extend the period to no more than 30 days.

When imposed, the state of emergency restricts the freedom of movement and bans mass demonstrations and strikes. In addition, changing Ukraine's constitution and electoral laws, as well as holding elections is prohibited at all levels.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has put Kiev's more than 200,000 reservists on notice that they will receive a summons to return to their units.

Moscow also said it would evacuate diplomatic personnel from Ukraine to protect their lives.

The recent measures come following Russian President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the sovereignty of the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk in the Donbass region.
