Iran said on Thursday that the International Al-Quds Day symbolizes unity and solidarity in the Muslim world and exemplifies the commemoration of the sublime cause of Palestine.
In a statement, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the struggle against the Zionist regime is a struggle against Global arrogance and hegemonic system.
“The crimes of the Zionist regime in recent days in Al-Aqsa Mosque and its attack on the holy sites of the first Qibla of Muslims is a blatant affront to feelings of Muslims around the world,” the statement read, as quoted by Iranian media.
“Even though the Zionist regime, in the past years, has resorted to various machinations to undermine the Palestinian cause and make it forgotten, global awareness has been created thanks to the efforts and determination of the world’s justice-seekers.”
The Islamic Republic, meanwhile, stressed that despite a wave of normalization deals between the Zionist entity and some Arab states, the Israeli occupation failed to take the issue of Palestine off the top agenda of the Muslim world.
It said that such agreements represent “betrayal of the Palestinian cause” and a” dagger in the back of the resilient nation of Palestine.”
In this context, the Iranian ministry stressed that such agreements failed to take the issue of Palestine off the top agenda of the Muslim world.
Israeli “atrocities are happening in view of the absence of a serious measure by the Western governments and international institutions that claim to be pioneers of human rights,” the statement added.
The ministry noted that holding a referendum with the participation of all the genuine residents of Palestine remains the only practical and democratic solution for the determination of the destiny and future of Palestine.
