PM designate Mikati to Al-Arabiya commenting on the Iranian ship:

No one wants more sanctions on Lebanon, but I say to the critics and the Arab League, “Give us a candle.” We cannot say no to the ship without having an alternative. Lebanon will remain under the Arab wing.

Najib Mikati: I accepted the assignment to form the government, and I am still dealing with things positively. I'm not currently considering apologizing from this assignment.

...Mikati: Those negotiating [he means Aoun] should be aware that the constitution today is the Taif constitution and the prime minister is the one responsible for the government and its formation.

Israeli journalist Aryeh Ehrlich describing the meeting between Biden-Bennett:

"It is unfortunate how PM Bennett is being treated as if he was a mere politician with six seats [weak representation and no power]."

Another added: "The meeting between Biden and Bennett is like coffee: short and bitter, it happened only miraculously, and in the end we will be left in the mud."

More than 100,000 packages of Colchicine (medication used to treat gout and Behçet's disease) were found in the raid carried out by the Minister of Health today to a drug agent's warehouse in Fiyadiye, and to an unlicensed apartment belonging to another agent in Ain El Mraiseh.

This is 12-year-old Omar Abu al-Neel when he was shot and seriously injured by the Israeli occupation forces on the eastern borders of #Gaza Strip last Saturday. The child died from his wounds today. When the Israelis claim they target "terrorists", show them Omar's picture!
