he continued: “Let those who wish ⁢to boycott (elections), or pursue power through other means, do so. As my master-and every​ faithful man⁤ and woman’s master-Imam Ali said: ‘By God, I prefer ‌this ⁣sandal over ruling ⁣you-unless through it I establish truth or ​repel falsehood.’“

Al-Sadr emphasized: “The truth will never prevail nor falsehood be⁢ repelled without:
1) Unconditional weapons transfer to ⁣state control
2) Disbanding militias
3) Strengthening ⁢Iraq’s army and‌ police
4) ensuring national sovereignty
5) Combating corruption through sweeping reforms!!!

The hidden​ (threats) are greater still.“

The statement emphasized that Yemeni people will not withdraw thier support⁤ for ⁣Palestinians and remain undeterred by threats from Israel, the U.S., or their allies. “We are prepared for any escalation of conflict, irrespective of its scale or origin,”‌ the declaration stated.

Ansarullah also called‌ on Arab and Muslim nations – both ⁣governments and citizens – to boycott goods produced⁤ by⁢ Israeli and American companies.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has sent its ‌positive response to mediators regarding the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal,according to a translated document and framework published​ by Al‌ Jazeera,as reported by webangah News Agency.

The Hezbollah leader addressed those ‌demanding the resistance movement disarm,stating: “Tell ⁢the invaders to leave-not us,who defend this land.”

He challenged critics: “Is it logical ​to never condemn enemy aggression while constantly ‍attacking your own people, saying ⁣’you must disarm first’?‍ If some choose surrender, that’s their decision. But we refuse-our motto is ‘Humiliation is⁤ far from us.’”

Sheikh ⁣Qassem emphasized: “You miscalculated by thinking foreign powers could pressure the resistance. ⁣Our people fear no enemy.”

The secretary-general declared: “True success means liberating​ our homeland. This is our ​call to you-we stand ready. Today’s occupier is Israel; it must leave⁣ our land. Resistance remains the only path against this occupation.”

He concluded: “Defending our nation requires⁢ no permission. If alternatives exist, we’re prepared to discuss details with those claiming they can provide real defense.”

This development follows U.S.‌ President Donald Trump’s earlier declaration that a final proposal for⁢ a 60-day ceasefire in the nearly 21-month conflict ⁤between Israel and Hamas had been presented, with responses expected from both parties within hours.

A ⁣Hamas official‍ who requested anonymity said: “We have delivered our response regarding the ceasefire proposal ‌to mediators Qatar and Egypt.”

Though, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, has yet to respond to Trump’s remarks. Public statements from both ‌sides indicate their positions remain ‍far​ apart.

Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Trump in ⁤Washington on Monday.

The Iranian and Qatari humanitarian aid organizations affiliated with the United nations agency UNRWA have condemned the⁢ Israeli​ military’s forced‍ evacuation orders in Gaza, stating ⁤that Israel ⁣has placed 85% of Gaza’s population​ under compulsory displacement in newly⁣ militarized zones.

Citing a recent UN report, webangah News Agency notes that over 114,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee their homes again since Israel resumed hostilities in March (February-March) after​ a ceasefire. The report also highlights escalating hunger crises in Gaza, warning that no substantial aid has reached the ⁤region for over four months.

UNRWA emphasized that addressing medical and relief needs remains critically urgent amid ongoing military operations.

The Anera​ institution, in it’s ‍latest report, condemned the Zionist regime’s brutality against Palestinian civilians and called for an‍ immediate ceasefire ‍in the ongoing ​conflict.
