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.

Argentinian player Lionel Messi has been replaced by French football star Kylian Mbappe in Paris Saint-German (PSG) - Mbappe is now the youngest player with 40 UEFA Champions League goals.

In a game against Juventus on Wednesday, PSG took home a 2-1 victory away in their final match of the Champions League at Turin's Juventus Stadium.

French player Mbappe broke the record with a long-range finish in the 13th minute, placing himself as the youngest player to score 40 goals at 23 years old.

Messi broke that record previously at 24 years old. 

In the UEFA Champions League, PSG finished second with 14 points in Group H behind Portugal's Benfica, which is ahead with a one-goal difference. 

Brazilian player Neymar Jr Da Silva has also been losing traction in light of Mbappe's rise, but their coach Christophe Galtier said in September there is no bad blood between them after Neymar insisted on taking the team's second penalty against Montpellier when Mbappe had missed the first.

Mbappe did not celebrate after Neymar scored the penalty. Galtier described the apparent differences between the two as an "epiphenomenon", suggesting that the matter was not a symptom of any deeper problem.
