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.

    Twitter vs. Musk: Twitter hires legal representatives

Twitter reportedly hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP following Elon Musk's decision to pull out of the $44 billion deal. The company is credited with having created the 'poison pill' strategy, a type of defensive tactic used by a corporation's board of directors in the occurrence of a hostile tender-based takeover.

Twitter hired two key lawyers for its team. William Savitt, who has represented companies like Anthem and Sotheby’s in the Delaware court against activist investors, and Leo Strine, a former Chancellor of the Delaware Chancery Court with 20 years of experience as a judge in the state’s courts, ending with a stint as the Chief Justice of its state Supreme Court before he joined the firm in 2020.

Musk himself will be represented by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP, the same company which handled Samsung’s defense against Apple’s patent lawsuit, and has defended Musk previously in his “pedo guy” defamation case, as well as the aftermath of his “funding secured” tweet about taking Tesla private in cases against the SEC and an ongoing shareholder lawsuit.

The reason behind this is that Twitter is accused of delivering “false and misleading” information about the company. Twitter has repeatedly said in recent weeks that the number of fake accounts on its platform is less than 5%. Musk and his team believe that the network is lying and that this affects the viability of his business, therefore the value of the company itself. 

By ending his commitment to buy Twitter, Musk exposed himself to heavy legal proceedings. Both parties have pledged to pay severance pay of up to $1 billion.
