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.

  • France beats Morocco 2-0.
    France to the final vs. Argentina

Disappointment hit Moroccans on Wednesday after their team's semi-final defeat to France, but nothing could efface the feeling of pride in an outstanding World Cup performance that spurred tears of joy across Africa and the Arab world.

As France scored the second goal, Al-Bayt Stadium suddenly went quiet, echoing a sheer silence that trespassed Rabat and Casablanca and landed in Beirut, Cairo, and Dakar.

France defeated Morocco 2-0 on Wednesday to advance to the World Cup championship game against Argentina on Sunday at Lusail Stadium.
