According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Al-Masirah via Mehr News Agency, Mahmoud Qomati stated that Lebanon’s government ‌decision to monopolize arms represents a⁣ coup against the⁣ national consensus for which heavy sacrifices were made.

in an ‌exclusive interview with Al-Masirah TV network, qomati⁤ added that⁢ the national consensus focused on Lebanon’s ‍priorities: stopping military‍ aggression by the Israeli regime, expelling enemy forces from Lebanese territory, securing prisoner releases, ‍and beginning reconstruction. However,‌ demands by the ​government to pay a higher price to the enemy and surrender weapons are unacceptable.

He asserted that Lebanese cabinet members have succumbed‌ to pressure from Arab princes who finance ​them. They ⁤also obey‌ U.S. dictates. It is disgraceful⁣ and brazen for Lebanon’s government to convene sessions merely to approve a U.S.-proposed plan.

Addressing Lebanese ⁢government ​officials directly, he said:‌ “What you have done is a stain of shame upon you. You are trampled beneath America’s feet‍ and then appeal back‍ to it.”

Qomati also stressed: “We will not implement this ​decision; for us it is indeed ‍just ink on paper with no meaning whatsoever. No one in this world can enforce this‌ measure or force us ‌to abandon our weapons.” He affirmed their intent⁣ to defend their arms ⁤and resistance through all legitimate and peaceful means.

The deputy head of Hezbollah’s political council concluded by⁢ emphasizing that they⁤ will not aim their weapons ⁤inside Lebanon nor engage in any internal conflict-neither with the army nor any ⁢other Lebanese party. The ⁤people who have⁣ made every sacrifice remain committed firmly to their arms and refuse surrendering them.

The Israeli army claimed that Muhammad Hamza​ Shahadeh, the⁤ intelligence chief of Hezbollah’s Redwan Unit,‌ was killed in a drone attack ⁣in the Adloun⁣ region of ‌southern Lebanon, according ​to Mehr News Agency cited ⁣by⁤ webangah News Agency.

In another report, Lebanese sources stated⁢ that today,⁤ Friday, the Israeli military targeted a⁣ bulldozer near the town of Aitaroun in southern Lebanon with a drone strike.

The ongoing Israeli assaults on ‍Lebanon come amid continued ⁢reactions to Prime Minister Nawaf Salam’s government’s ⁤approval of an American-backed plan to monopolize arms under ⁤state control and disarm Hezbollah.

According ‍to‍ the English section⁤ of webangah News Agency, citing WAM, saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry‍ strongly condemned‍ Israel’s decision to occupy the Gaza Strip in a forceful‍ statement.

The ministry condemned Israel’s repeated crimes of starving Gaza‍ residents, brutal acts, and⁢ ethnic cleansing‌ against the Palestinian people.

The statement said: “The inhumane ideas⁤ and decisions taken⁤ by officials of the ⁣Israeli‌ occupation regime without any deterrence or barriers onc again ‍confirm⁢ that⁤ they do not understand the emotional,historical,and legal bond⁣ between Palestinians and their land. According⁢ to international law and⁤ humanitarian principles, Palestinians are the rightful​ owners of this land.”

Saudi Arabia also warned: “The international community’s ongoing failure-and that of the Security Council-to instantly⁢ halt Israel’s violations undermines global order and ⁢international‌ legitimacy. It also threatens regional and global security and peace.​ These​ actions carry⁤ severe consequences by encouraging and fueling genocide and forced displacement.”

The ministry concluded: “Israel’s‍ ongoing crimes obligate the international community to take firm deterrent ⁢positions to end Palestine’s⁤ humanitarian disaster. The agreed peaceful solution-establishing ‍two states based on​ UN resolutions within 1967 borders with East​ Jerusalem as its capital-must be realized.”

According to the English section of webangah ​News Agency, citing Shihab News‌ Agency via Mehr News Agency, Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs⁢ sharply condemned Israel’s expansion‌ of military operations in Gaza. The ministry described this as a‌ new phase in expansionist policies and genocide⁤ against Palestinians.

in ⁢an official statement, Turkey ⁢called Israel’s action​ a “severe blow to ⁣international peace and security” that increases‍ regional ‌instability​ and deepens the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The ministry emphasized Israel’s obligation to respect international⁣ law. It demanded an immediate halt ​to unfriendly plans,​ acceptance of ⁢a ceasefire, and a return to ‌negotiations‍ for a two-state solution.

The statement ⁤underscored that lasting peace can only be achieved through⁣ respect for human rights and prioritizing diplomatic dialog.

Turkey also urged the international community ⁣and the United Nations Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities by preventing forced displacement of Palestinians and blocking violations of international law by Israel.
