A Lebanese lawmaker from the political wing of the Amal Movement says any agreement with the Tel Aviv regime will be “meaningless” without the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from southern Lebanon.

Israel has finalized a $2.3 billion contract aimed at the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which will include the development of 12,000 new settler units.

Israel reportedly submitted a list of Lebanese army officers it opposes in southern Lebanon deployment, citing alleged Hezbollah links.

The Israeli regime's US ambassador claims the Lebanon deal is not about the withdrawal of the occupying forces.

Sheikh Qassem says the Lebanese government has backstabbed the country by agreeing to a deal with Israel.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has demanded full clarification regarding the United States’ true intentions and role in mediating the Ukraine conflict.

Iran says it has to remain pessimistic and suspicious at any stage of negotiations with the US.
