Majority Leader in the US House of Representatives, Steny Hoyer:

"Hezbullah must be held to account for its human rights violations", it is "an unrepentant terrorist organization and a proxy of Iran" that "prevents peace and democracy" in Lebanon.

He implied the murder of Lokman Slim, adding that "Lebanon deserves a future of peace and freedom."

🇮🇱 Netanyahu: The ICC proved again it's a political and not a legal body. The ICC disregards real war crimes & persecuting Israel, a democracy who is not a member of the court. We will continue defending our citizens and soldiers from legal persecution.

🇺🇸 @StateDeptSPOX: We are reviewing the ICC decision on Palestine and we have concerns about the ICC taking steps against Israeli personnel.

US President Biden just removed Yemen's Ansarallah from the FTO list, as per multiple White House sources & Congressman Chris Murphy.

Congrats dear Yemenites.

A total of 3 drugs factories were busted and 2 Syrian workers were arrested working there.

The village is of a known political affiliation, but it would be wrong to accuse the party of it.

Beqaa is drug infested, never was about a party or another.

The polical party is the Lebanese forces, if anyone is asking.

The resignation of Muhammad al-Bizri, a member of the Nasserite Popular Organization "due to the new positioning of the organization," headed by Representative Osama Saad.

Although the phone of murdered Lokman Slim was found less than 1 km away from the house he was at that night, 40 km away from the location his body was found at, his family is refusing to hand the phone to security forces.

A phone that is crucial for investigations. https://news.1rj.ru/str/nauala/11974

🏗🚧 As a result of the non-commitment of the concrete companies to the content of the agreement (reached with the Environment Committee and the Presidency of the Government six weeks ago), and consequently not signing it, the Ministry of Industry called on all those wishing to import concrete to apply for licence early next week to obtain import licenses for this material, provided that the imported material has the required specifications and standards, and at competitive prices.

This would be a blow to the monopoly of concrete in Lebanon greatly affecting the war lord Walid Joumblat and Nicole Fattoush.

Lokman Slim's phone and eyeglasses were found only 300 meters away from where he was that night.

It's currently with his family. The sister found it using Google "Find my phone".

Internal security (information branch) forces are negotiating with the family to get it.

Sister of political activist Luqman Salim, writer Rasha al-Amir: My brother has never tried to help anyone who wants to defect from Hezbollah, and those who say this are trying to kill him twice and fabricate news for the sake of scoops.

The family added that he will not be cremated and will be buried in the garden of his house in Dahyeh.
