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.

La Liga is facing the wrath of Spain’s Royal Club.

After the announcement of a €2.7 billion ($3.2 billion) deal between the Spanish La Liga and CVC Capital Partners, Real Madrid and other Spanish clubs are not taking the matter lightly.

Real Madrid has stated that it will launch a civil and criminal lawsuit against Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, and the chief of the private equity CVC, Javier de Jaime Guijarro.

Furthermore, the club will pursue legal action to block the deal as it gives the private equity firm a 10% share in the league’s future television and broadcasting rights. 

Barcelona joined Madrid’s side by supporting its decisions and describing the deal as “mortgaging the club’s rights over the next half-century,” vowing to fully reject it.

The deal came amidst growing financial distress as sports clubs around the globe have felt the powerful setbacks of the pandemic, notably with disrupted competitions and shut-out stadiums. 

Spain’s football clubs have now entered a new legal battle with La Liga, despite the deal’s outcome securing hefty revenues and funds which Barcelona could have used to keep its previous superstar Lionel Messi amongst its ranks.
