BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must also prioritize rebuilding the state economically and socially, as well as returning the depositors’ funds.
Sheikh Qassem: The second priority is reconstruction, and I call on the Lebanese government to place this item first on the agenda of its next session.
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must prioritize ending Israeli aggression, its violations, its occupation, and securing the release of prisoners.
Sheikh Qassem: We are part of the new era and partners in its benefits, and we want those who previously took certain stances for specific reasons to reconsider them in order to build the country.
Sheikh Qassem: We say to the servants of Israel: return to your national sense so that we can work together.
Sheikh Qassem: The servants of "Israel"; their sedition has destroyed Lebanon, and they always act in ways that break those around them and destabilize the country.
Sheikh Qassem: You did not succeed in eliminating us, and you will not succeed. No single component can be isolated, and you will not achieve through pressure what you failed to achieve through war.
Sheikh Qassem: Whoever thinks they can isolate the resistance is delusional.
Sheikh Qassem: The Lebanese state must act more and confront Israeli violations with greater strength.
Sheikh Qassem: Israel is now trying to eliminate the resistance through continued pressure and aggression, but by political means.

Elon Musk's X has paid multi-million-dollar fines to Brazil to settle a long-running legal battle with Brazilian Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who had ordered the shutdown of the platform's operations in the country, citing misinformation. 

However, following the settlement of the payment, Moraes revealed that the money was transferred to the wrong account and ordered the immediate redirection of the $5.2 million in funds into the correct one. 

The billionaire had been battling with Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes since April after the latter ordered X to take down over 100 far-right accounts loyal to former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Brazilian court allows social network X to resume operations

Last month, Musk closed X's offices in Brazil after refusing to appoint a legal representative to allow the platform to continue its operations. Moraes responded by ordering the country's mobile and internet service providers to block access to X and imposing fines on the company for its willful conduct in supporting disinformation.

Musk had refused to comply with legal orders to remove posts and accounts in Brazil and Australia, claiming to be an advocate for free speech, despite being less vocal about removing content from countries such as Turkey and India.

However, in September, he ended his months-long fight with the Brazilian Supreme Court, abiding by court orders to resume operations of his social media platform X in the country.

The tech entrepreneur complied with the Supreme Court's main demands by appointing a legal representative in Brazil, paying outstanding fines, and removing users from the platform deemed a threat to the country's democracy.
