International Quds Day
The liberation of Palestine is a current matter, and Quds Day is near
Al Quds was terrified and its face turned dark in anticipation of being betrayed by the Arabs and Muslims after the world abandoned it and its liberation movements stagnated. Peoples fell under the domination of the Great Satan, and their efforts combined with the Lesser Satan, the “temporary and ephemeral entity,” to liquidate the Palestinian cause and Judaize Al Quds.
More fear was brought about of Al Quds and its preoccupation with its Arab and Islamic nation, that the major Arab countries had betrayed and their leadership signed the agreement of humiliation and shame at Camp David, and Egypt turned against itself, its Arabism, and its supporters, the hope of the nation after his departure, the betrayal of his heir Sadat, his treachery with Nasiriya, and the neglect of the blood of martyrs and great sacrifices.
However, the word of God radiated on the tongue of Imam Ayatollah Khomeini’s spirit, may his family and his noble companions sanctify, and the promise of God was true. The Islamic Revolution won in Iran and immediately expelled the Israeli ambassador and raised the flag of Palestine over the Israeli embassy at the first tidings of victory, confirming the revolution’s decision and its commitment to liquidate the most dangerous platforms and bases of support. The usurper entity represented by the tomb Shah. Islam and the revolution escalated from Tehran, definitive indications and divine gifts presented by the Islamic revolution to reassure Al Quds about its future and that it will remain the eternal capital of free Palestine and its patient and ever-resisting people.
In Tehran, the place of the right Islam, the line of jihad, and the commitment to upholding the word of God Almighty, the Palestinians found a people, organizations, the Liberation Organization and leaders of a safe haven, an older brother, and an unrelenting and unrelenting bond that does not turn a blind eye to Al Quds.
In order to confirm and generalize the reality of Al Quds, the city of peace, religions and love, Arab and Islamic, its minarets chant with the bells of churches and the prayers of Christians. The world celebrates it and witnesses the struggles, movements and activities of reviving Al Quds, as a reminder that it is the city of the heavenly religions and that it groans from the injustice and tyranny of the most heinous, brutal, racist and aggressive occupation.
And for Al-Quds, Iran announced and prepared the Al-Quds Force and its security with all the capabilities, capabilities, minds, believing leaders and creative resistance fighters who do not calm down in movement, actions and involvement in the resistance and in almost all arenas of jihad for the day of liberation and approaching God for victory and martyrdom.
For the sake of Al Quds, the martyrs provided convoys dripping in convoys, and God has blessed the exceptional international jihadist leader, the commander of the Quds Force, by martyrdom at the hands of the sons of the Great Satan in Baghdad, the bereaved and slaughtered sister of Al Quds, with the knife of the American occupation sharpened by those supposed to be the Baghdad brothers of the undercover and the families of the kingdoms and emirates of oil, gas and sand.
The blood of the martyr Qassem Soleimani and his spirit are manifested by stars that light the paths of the brothers of jihad and resistance to the path of Al Quds to liberate it and raise the word of God with truth.
On the path of the martyr of Al Quds and the Knight of the Resistance, Qassem Soleimani, and under the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei, may God protect him, and with his wisdom, the liberation of Palestine became a current matter and the day of the meeting in Al Quds became closer.

Article of Dr. Abdul Hamid Dashti on International Quds Day
Former deputy in the Kuwaiti National Assembly
President of the International Council for Supporting a Fair Trial and Human Rights
Assistant Secretary-General of Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance
On the International Quds Day, in which the free people of the world renew the covenant that Palestine and Al Quds will remain in the heart and memory, may God reward the best who launched that call on this day, and established it as ongoing charity, founding leader Imam Khomeini may Allah sanctify his memory, we follow the escalation of security incidents in occupied Palestine, and the increasing state of Israeli rage in the infringement of all the rights of the Palestinian people, the original owner of the land, who is under the yoke of the Israeli occupation, and the attempts of its forces continue to prevent the Palestinian people from enjoying their legitimate human rights on their land.
Indeed, the torrential rain has reached, and the Israeli occupation forces are continuing their attacks on the safe worshipers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which settlers have stormed several times since the beginning of the holy month under strict security protection from the Israeli army and the occupation security forces.
These immoral practices entrench the Israeli occupation’s rebellion against international legitimacy and resolutions, in terms of persistence in committing violations against humanity, and the continuation of the crime of extermination of the Palestinian people, which leads to exposing international peace and security to the danger of igniting wars in the region and the world as a result of this endless arrogance that comes as a natural result. To the state of groveling, decadence, and scrambling towards normalization with this usurper, mutant entity.
Here, it is necessary to refer to United Nations General Assembly Resolution No. 181 issued in November 1947, which stipulated the division of Palestine into two states, Arab and Jewish, a resolution that wronged Palestine and its people and sided with the Israeli occupation, dividing the historical land of Palestine into Two states, however, the Israeli occupation refuses to implement the terms of this resolution and to allow the Palestinian people to enjoy their legitimate rights on their historical land.
It is the right of all generations and all segments of the Palestinian people, who aspire to the right of return, to return to their land, even after a while. Moreover, Israel’s commitment to the resolutions of international legitimacy endorsed by the international system is inevitable and irreversible. The world, no matter how long it takes, must stand by the Palestinian right to its land and its sanctities. Otherwise, what is taken by force can only be restored by force. Then, Israel will be the cause of the demise of its entity, which planned to ignite strife, wage wars, exterminate the Palestinian people, leave the region behind and destabilize the countries around it.
We in the International Council in Support of Fair Trial and Human Rights, and in the global gathering to support the option of resistance, support the right of the Palestinian people to liberate the entire Palestinian national soil on their historical land, and to establish an independent state of Palestine with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital forever and ever.
Thank you.

The Arab and Islamic world and all free people in the world celebrate the International Day of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, which was announced after the Iranian revolution in 1979 AD, and the celebrations continued annually on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan each year until they reached the forty-third year 1979 – 2022 AD.
The celebration of this day emphasizes many meanings, perhaps the most important of which are:
1- Reminding the Arab and Islamic nation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, which is subject to the Zionist occupation after the setback of 1967 AD and until now.
2- That the issue of Al-Quds Al-Sharif remains alive in the hearts of the Arab and Islamic people from all over the world.
3- Supporting and backing our Palestinian brothers residing in Al Quds under the Zionist occupation.
4- Recalling the crimes that the Zionist enemy committed and is still committing by desecrating the Zionist settlers and occupying soldiers in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and even inside it, and the excavations they are doing under the eyes and ears of the whole world amid a strange and conspiratorial silence.
5- The liberation of Bait Al-Maqdis is an inevitable duty of every Muslim man and woman from all over the world, and that uniting the world on this date is the greatest reminder of the importance of Al-Quds in the lives of Muslims and that they must remain in their struggle on the heart of one man.
The liberation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif is the prelude to the liberation of all of Palestine from the river to the sea, and the expulsion of the usurping Zionist colonial entity from the Holy Land and all the Arab region, especially since we are aware and aware that planting this entity in our region is aimed at preventing the unity of the Arab and Islamic world so that the Zionist entity will be a dagger in the back this nation.
Hence, the system of this celebration is composed of remembrance, unification, support, support and resistance.
We will continue to chant the slogan of generation after generation until the departure of Israel, that colonial Zionist entity. Today, the entity seeks to provoke the feelings of Muslims and Christians by desecrating Al-Quds Al-Sharif, attacking the worshipers, dragging them and killing them. Nevertheless, the Al Qudsites remain steadfast until the time comes from God Almighty to remove this entity.
Last year, the entity was not satisfied with the attacks, but rather sought to demolish the houses in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, which led to the intifada and the outbreak of war between the Palestinian resistance of all kinds and the Zionist entity, which ended after more than a month to the victory of the resistance and the defeat of the entity.
In conclusion, we affirm that the celebration of this day gives us the spirit of resistance and its continuation and gives us hope in the inevitability of victory over the Zionist enemy, and God is the supporter and champion of all the honorable resistance forces for the liberation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif.

Al Quds international Day
Al Quds international Day is held on the last Friday of Ramadan each year. It’s a day when people around the world, Muslims and non-Muslims come together to demonstrate their support for the oppressed in the world, in particular the oppressed Palestinians who have been living under Israeli occupation for over 74 years. It has been exactly 43 years since the declaration of Al Quds international Day. This day besides symbolizing the world’s support for the freedom of Palestine, it also contains important messages of Islamic unity, international solidarity and global anti-imperialism.
Imam Khomeini’s role
It was on 16th August 1979, on the first Ramadan after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, that Imam Khomeini declared the last Friday of the holy month as Al-Quds Day, a day for solidarity with the oppressed, in particular with the oppressed in Palestine. In an interview on 1st December 1978, two months before the victory of the Islamic Revolution, an American reporter asked Imam Khomeini about his support for the Palestinians. Imam Khomeini replied “We support the oppressed. We support whoever is oppressed wherever they may be, and the Palestinians are oppressed, the Israelis oppress them. For this reason, we support them.”
The principal of what Al Quds Day is not the support the Palestinians because they are Muslims or they are Christians or Jews or anything else. The principal is to support those who are oppressed. By suggesting Al Quds Day, Imam Khomeini awakened the conscience of humanity to the issue of Palestine and made people protest against the Israeli oppression. Hence each year, the last Friday of Ramadan witnesses the vast participation of millions of people across the world in massive rallies.
The holy month of Ramadan revives the spirit of unity and brotherhood among Muslims, it was certainly not a coincidence that Imam Khomeini chose a Friday during this month to dedicate for this most noble purpose of joining our hands together as a unified nation, no matter what school of thought we belong to or what nation we come from. When the Muslim world has savored the sufferings of the poor and needy by fasting from food and water throughout this holy month, Muslims naturally become more sympathized and united for the cause of the oppressed.
Hence, the peak of spiritual recognition in this aspect becomes more apparent towards the latter part of Ramadan, which makes the timing all the appropriate to dedicate as Al-Quds Day. We all share the same concern for Al-Quds and Baitul Maqdis and therefore, our collective protest on this specified day, particularly as the world is well aware of the Muslims observance of the holy month of fasting, creates a greater effect and speaks a louder voice for the cause of standing up against oppression.
The Dilemma of Al Quds
Al Quds is a city where Muslims have to go through checkpoints of armed Israeli soldiers if they want to visit al-Aqsa or other mosques and holy sites. It is a city where year after year, Israeli military kills Palestinian civilians whether women, old people and kids alike.
If you still follow the tragic news that come from Palestine on a daily basis, you can witness how grim and hopeless the situation there is. Palestinians who are portrayed by mass media as militants and aggressors in fact only assert their rights over the land that they’ve lost, losing tens of thousands of people in bloody clashes with one of the most advanced armies of the Middle East. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who lose their houses due to illegal Israeli court orders are forced to become refugees scattered all around the world. As for Israelis, they continue to push their unlawful claims by making up shocking archeological fables. They are aided in such expedition by pro-Western media that tries to wipeout the Israeli leadership’s atrocious actions against Palestinians, their holy sites and their neighborhoods.
Hence, the annual massive rallies in commemoration of Al Quds International day is a great opportunity to shatter prejudices and share each other’s perspectives. You see in those rallies Muslims engaging the rabbis in conversation no doubt smashing the Israeli lies of equating Zionism with Judaism and Jewishness which can easily lead to anti-Semitism. It is also an opportunity for socialists and peace activists to engage with Muslims, in particular Muslims whom they may see as ‘fundamentalists’, in order to clarify misunderstandings which can very easily lead to Islamophobia.
Boycotting Israeli companies
One of the important ways of raising international voice on Al-Quds Day is to announce a boycott of all companies which support the apartheid economy of the Israeli entity as a part of the larger Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. By implementing consumer boycott of those companies which sponsor the occupation of the Palestinian state, these companies are being educated about how their close relationship with the Israeli occupying entity is a financial liability.
The BDS movement began when a coalition of 170 Palestinian civil society groups issued a call to “people of conscience” around the world on July 9, 2005. Supporters of the freedom of Palestine argue that an international citizens’ movement is necessary because despite decades of “peace talks” smokescreen, political leaders have failed to end Israel’s settler-colonialism, ethnic cleansing and apartheid practices. Actually, they continue to enable them. Therefore, only bottom-up pressure from ordinary people will force governments to end Israel’s latitude and help create an unbiased peace based on freedom and justice.
Significance of Al Quds Day rallies
This year just like every year, Al Quds Day rallies are planned for most major cities across the world. Hardly a day passes by without an incursion by illegal Israeli trespassing into the holy division in al-Quds. Over the last decade, aggressive Israeli incursions have escalated. The Israeli plan is simply the annexation of al-Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) with a view to taking it over completely. Hence the responsibility for liberating Palestine symbolized first by the liberation of Al Quds falls on the shoulders of Muslims worldwide as well as fair-minded, justice seeking non-Muslims.
Quds Day rallies, therefore, assume great significance in mobilizing global public opinion for this ongoing calamity abided by a ruthless mockery of “justice for the chosen ones”. Keeping the issue of the continued Israeli occupation of Al Quds and Palestine alive is a religious duty of all Muslims worldwide and a human rights duty for peace activists too.
Al Quds Day is no longer just about the unity of Muslims, it also embraces unity of all who oppose oppression and strive for justice. And justice means rejecting so-called solutions which are essentially unjust; that reward the oppressor for their crimes, and grant them legitimacy for returning a few crumbs of what they have stolen. Al Quds day means freedom before peace for as Maclom X once said “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.”

Al Quds on its International Day is closer and its liberation soon
One bright morning, Iran surprised the world with its victorious Islamic revolution, and the will of the people was realized with its victory and with its leader, Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, may his secret sanctify. And the transformations, the revolution and its victory and the leader’s decision to expel the embassy of the temporary entity from Tehran the revolution and raise the flag of Palestine like a thunderbolt on the heads of those seeking understandings, reconciliation and contracting with the temporary entity to authorize it to run the Arabs and Muslims and to achieve the goals of colonialism and perpetuate its hegemony over the Arabs and Muslims and plunder their wealth and exploit their ruling geography determined in the balances the world.
The traitors to the Palestinian cause launched by the Sadat regime, and the typists’ gasping for families ands of oil, gas and sand, and the involvement of the Palestine Liberation Organization in settlements and the Oslo Agreement tempted the forces of discrimination and aggression and assured them of the future of their hegemony and control, and their quest to liquidate the Palestinian cause, but the Islamic revolution in Iran changed the rhythms, events and developments, so they joined forces with Al-Assad’s Syria is the heart of Arabism and the banner of the resistance and has supported the resistance factions in all arenas, and made Al Quds and its liberation the mother of tasks and priorities of effort and work.
With the announcement of the Leader of the Quds Week and the International Quds Day on the last Fridays in the month of goodness and sacrifices, Al Quds returned to the scene and interests, and the strength of the axis of resistance rose and fought Wars, accumulated victories, altered balances, and right, defeats the temporary entity in Lebanon and Gaza, defeated conspiracies and invasions in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and dropped all and any of the entity’s tactical and strategic elements, so that it was decided that Quds Day in the current year would be the most prominent signs and events and the strongest evidence and indications of the return of a free, Arab, and Arab Al Quds. Islamic eternal capital of the lady and liberated Palestine.
Congratulations to Iran, its revolution and its leaders, mercy and paradise to its martyrs, and victory to the ally of the resistance and the Palestinian people revolting with arms and based on vertical support, the choice of the resistance; Iran, the Islamic revolution, and Arab Syria, which neither bargained nor accepted normalization or coexistence with the usurping entity.
Al Quds on its promise and its day to be liberated soon, God willing, and with the sacrifices of peoples and their commitment to the choice of resistance.

Imam Khomeini’s announcement of the International Quds Day made Al Quds not only a cause of liberation, but also made it a cause.
The cause that unites all the free people of the world, the cause of internationalism, the cause of all humanity,
Imam Khomeini’s announcement of Quds Day made Al Quds not only an issue that must be fought for, but it has become the issue.
International Quds Day, on the last Friday of the blessed Ramadan.
It is not only time, it is time, not just history, it is history and from it begins.
International Quds Day reminded humanity that
Al Quds is not a place, it is a place.
The place to which all the dreams and hopes of the free people of the world turn,
And it is not just a place of worship, but Al Quds is the compass of truth.
Al Quds is the dome and the qibla every morning and evening.
There is no humanity for a person far from Al Quds.
Since the declaration of Quds Day, Palestine has become closer to its liberation.
On Quds Day, it is a day on which every person determines his position.
For or against there is no room for neutrality,
Quds Day is the day of the battle of consciousness.
The Zionist enemy trembles with fear the closer the date with Quds Day approaches.
His conviction is increasing that his entity is temporary, and that his presence on the land of Palestine is temporary as well.
On Quds Day, the enemy knows and feels that its end is inevitably near.
Quds Day assured all the free people of the world that
The liberation of Palestine has become a reality
With each day of Al Quds, the day of the liberation of Palestine approaches.
Al Quds is the compass of the free.
Long live International Quds Day,
Salute to all the martyrs of Palestine
Salute to the heroic prisoners in the prisons of the Zionist occupation.
Greetings to our people of resistance.
- Lisandro Brusko coordinator of Global Gathering in Argentina.
On August 7th, 1979, in one of the first measures taken by the victorious Islamic revolution, Imam Khomeini called Mussulmen around the world to set the last Ramadan Friday as the international day of Solidarity with the Palestinian Cause.
I would like to emphasize in this opportunity two contributions that I think are fundamental in Imam Khomeini´s decision: on the one hand, the call not to forget nor give up the just claims of Palestinian people and, on the other hand, the need to overcome any kind of sectarian speech that violate the fundamental obligation to defend the oppressed rights.
First, let´s remind the context in which the Imam´s call is made: after the terrible Arabic defeat in 1967 the whole Palestinian land had ended under Israeli´s control and the resistance had lost its position in Egypt and Jordan. The first of these countries had embarked on a negotiation process with Israel that relegated to the background the Palestinians´ claims and the second country had unleashed the crackdown known as Black September in 1970. Besieged in Lebanon, where it would be expulsed in 1982, the Palestinian resistance was seen enclosed not only by the Arabic governments’´ indifference of those days but also by the Israeli rhetoric that constantly aimed to deny the legitimacy of Palestinians’ claims rebuilding and manipulating the historical account, going back to the well-kwon Zionist idea of “a land without a people for a people without a land”.
This slogan was the prelude of a project mainly aimed to erase the Palestinian people´s historic memory, thin it in an official Israeli account that turn Palestinians into a bunch of old-fashioned shepherds dispersed in a hostile land. We would be wrong if we denied the force of these ideas in the Israeli’s speech, we don´t even have to go back to 1963 to listen to Golda Meir say: “The Palestinians don´t exist”, it would be enough to remember the Peace Nobel’s words, Shimmon Perez, who with impunity commented:
“I remember how everything began. The whole Israel state is a milk meter of the whole Middle East. A statistical mistake, sterile and disappointing land, the northern swamps, the southern desert, two lakes, one death and an overvalued river. Without natural resources, in addition to malaria. There was nothing here. And now we have the best agriculture in the world. This is a miracle: a land built by its people”.
In times when some specialists support that Palestinian national claims will end degrading into mere civil lawsuits in the Israeli political life, when others mark, as Italian philosopher Domenico Losurdo masterfully does, that the own Israeli left parties don´t aim to other thing but to change from the traditional colonial occupation to other neo-colonial forms of domination; the memory of the fair Palestinians’ claims breaking through the world the same day establish the visceral and necessary expression of resistance in front of the Israeli impunity.
The second element we think important to retrieve from Imam Jomeini´s call is the need to overcome the sectarian speech. Precisely when the Islamic revolution to shii people´s projection was tried to be reduced, the call for Al Quds Day showed the need to rally the community of believers with the oppressed of the world, which Palestine is a symbol, beyond their religious ascription. In this sense, Imam said:
“Al Quds Day is a world celebration that not only belongs to Palestine, but also it is the day in which the oppressed of the world protest against the arrogant”
The importance of this call was such that the Islamic Cooperation Organization itself that joins 57 countries, recommended in 1988 to do activities in favour of the Palestinian cause the date proposed by Imam Jomeini.
As we return primordial human dimension to these fights that suppose the victim´s longing for justice, beyond any consideration, we rebuild the bridge that twins us as humans from a universal ethical proposal.
We would like to finish simply claiming this date as an always valid declaration against the short-sightedness sectarian speech and as a true plea against forgetting the causes that claim for justice in an urgent way.
Thank you

On February 24, 2022, the Western world has found itself at war. With the beginning of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Western politicians, media, and consequently the public opinion, entered a phase of frantic and irrational hysteria, heightened by an incessant hate campaign against everything and everyone Russian. As if the Russian intervention had broken a long-standing era of peace and international harmony.
“The first war since the Second World War,” someone wrote in a newspaper, although in the last decades the same politicians, media and public opinion have spoken, written and commented on the many wars that have come before – even if not with the same concern, and never with a genuine sympathy for the suffering of civilians besieged by the same countries who pretended to mourn their fate. No attention at all has ever been paid to the ongoing war in Yemen, for instance; and no attention is paid anymore to the ongoing war in Syria. No attention has ever been given to the so-called “low intensity” conflicts that have been destabilizing Africa or South America for decades; nor to the many terrorist attacks and U.S. drone strikes that are killing innocent civilians in Africa, West Asia, South Asia…
In fact, there has never been a single day of peace in the world, since the end of the Second World War; because, at the end of the Second World War, the West was already waging a war against Palestine. Peace had been already broken well before 1948, it was broken when the first batch of Europeans landed on the Palestinian coast with the intent of creating a new colony to serve the interests of Europe, and of the U.S. The Zionist state was founded following the invasion of Palestine, the extermination of entire Palestinian villages and the violent expulsion of at least 700,000 Palestinians from their land. And its recognition represents the first official denial of the same principle of self-determination the UN charter pretends to support.
Since then, the list of the wars carried out by the West has grown dramatically, and the Western armies, or their proxy armies, have reached all the corners of the world. Contrary to their portraying themselves as champions of peace, and justice, of democracy and prosperity, the Western countries have only spread death, injustice, tyranny and exploitation. They have pursued the ambition of an unchallenged domination that does not tolerate political or economic peers.
Their wars are endless wars, as the Palestinians well know. Their goal is to destroy, annihilate, crush anything that stands in their way; to obliterate nations, political entities, infrastructures, collective identities, and histories.
Military campaigns are sustained by other types of wars, fought with all kinds of weapons: embargoes that choke economies, and starve peoples; propaganda campaigns, that depict all rival countries and leaders as underdeveloped and tyrannical; ideological aggression, led by a whole plethora of NGOs and associations charged with the task of sneakily conquering the target countries’ populations to the Western thought, of turning resistance into acquiescence, and national pride into voluntary submission.
Palestine has become a training ground, where the Zionist army tests out weapons, tactics and all means of coercion; and where the Europeans wage their ideological warfare. It has been literally invaded by armies of European do-gooders who flaunt their empathy for the Palestinian cause while censuring any act of military resistance, any political actor, any independent ideological standpoint. The Westerners have been trying for years to depoliticize the Palestinian cause, to isolate Palestine from its natural, strategical and ideological allies, in the attempt of turning the Palestinians into a defenseless people passively waiting to be rescued by the Europeans themselves.
In the meantime, the Western countries have attacked all the West Asian nations who resisted their rule. And West Asia has become the center of a global war launched by the U.S. and their allies.
Today, the global conflict has reached such proportions that it is basically impossible for any country to exist peacefully outside the dominion of the West. The U.S. ambition of maintaining their supposed primacy, and discourage “peer competitors” through military strength, has drawn a dividing line among countries, labeling all those states that are not willing to bow to their will as “enemies”. They have made it clear that there is no possibility of collaboration or compromise with countries that thrive on the blood of other peoples, that spoil, oppress and kill.
But with each aggression, the West gets more and more isolated internationally. The network of political and economic relations among countries under economic siege is thickening day by day. U.S. diktats push free countries to join forces, to coordinate with each other in order to build an alternative world where international relations are not based on violence. Countries which have been previously forced to join the global market in order to survive – and are now under economic attack for their independence – are coming together, starting to cooperate, to build new economic relations and commercial routes, to support each other militarily.
The U.S. have lost in Syria, they have abandoned Afghanistan, they have lost their grip on Iraq; presumably, they will fail in their plan of incorporating Ukraine in the NATO. The chances that Russia will capitulate to their expansionist aims are far off, and even more unlikely is that the U.S. will be able to affect China significantly.
The U.S. empire is collapsing, militarily and economically.
And, hopefully, from the chaos unleashed with increasing virulence by the West, a world more balanced and more respectful of peoples and their aspirations will be born.
For 90 years, the Palestinians have resisted the same forces that are bombing Yemen, illegally occupying Syrian soil, and blackmailing political leaderships in Africa and Asia.
The road has already been paved. It has been paved by all the countries of the Axis of Resistance, which have been working together for decades to expel the Zionist colony from Palestine. Today, more than ever, it is obvious that there is no way to relate to the Western world other than to resist, and resist together. The Axis of Resistance has always been right. The anti-imperialist Western Asian countries are the real champions of freedom and justice, and they have been leading this fight since the beginning.
This is why, in this fight to defend peoples’ rights to self-determination, to economical freedom, to survival on their own land, Al Quds, the first victim of a feigned “peace”, today stands out as a symbol of resistance to West’s expansionism, to the hypocrisy of its proclamations, to the inconsistency of its moral standards.
Its symbolic strength is testified not only by the violence of the occupation but also by the relentlessness with which all the Zionist countries have tried to neutralize the significance of the Palestinians’ struggle reducing it to a moral conflict, delegitimizing their resistance, blackmailing them into non-violence, constraining them into the fake rhetoric of humanitarianism.
But their attempt is bound to fail. The Axis of Resistance is stronger than ever, and more unified than ever. And now that so many countries have become Western targets, hopefully, they will come together with the Axis, to embrace the Palestinian struggle, and liberate the world from Western military and ideological colonialism.
And the collapse of the imperialist, Zionist Western world, will represent first and foremost a victory of the Palestinian people, with Al Quds as their capital.

The Islamic and Arab world celebrates the International Quds Day on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan, which was called by the Imam of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, to declare international solidarity in support of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. Imam Khomeini asked all Islamic governments in the world to specify and choose that Quds Day should be on the last Friday of Ramadan, and in recent years this occasion has spread among Muslims and even among non-Muslim countries, and on this day it is announced The Islamic and Arab world and some peoples of the world support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
In Palestine and other countries such as Yemen, Iraq, Bahrain and others, mass rallies are witnessed every year, just as countries in the world witness the Palestinian, Yemeni, Syrian, Iraqi, Lebanese and other countries. These crowds chant for Palestine and support the Palestinian people on the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan every year. The occasion of the “International Quds Day” is an affirmation and solidarity with the major cause and the foundation of AlQuds, and in support of the Arab and Islamic cause represented in rejecting the Zionist enemy’s occupation of Islamic lands and holy sites as a symbol of the Islamic nation.
Massive mass rallies in commemoration of International Quds Day took place in every capital city
In the Iranian capital, Tehran, and all other Iranian cities, mass rallies were launched, including millions of the Iranian people of all segments, who went out to participate in these marches, which were launched in Iranian cities, heading towards the Friday prayer centers in commemoration of the International Quds Day, and in response to the call of the bomber of the Islamic Revolution. The Iranian people raised banners to emphasize that the Palestinian cause is still the first issue in the Islamic world and that Palestine and AlQuds are the compass of all Muslims. Millions of Iranians raised in their rallies a unifying slogan for this year, which is “the unity of the Islamic nation, support for the Palestinian uprising and innocence from the Zionist entity and Takfiri terrorism.” The participants in the rallies condemned the crimes of the occupation entity against the Palestinian people and the continued international silence about the violations of the occupation and the normalization of some Arab and Islamic countries and the establishment of relations with it. Iranian support for the resistance in the Gaza Strip, and the Islamic peoples, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran, will continue to confront the conspiracies being hatched against the oppressed peoples, and Iran will remain its main enemy, the US imperialism that supports the Zionist entity.
In the past years, thousands of people of honor participated in a massive mass march, which roamed the streets of the city, after the end of Friday prayers, in response to the call of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini, to support the city of Al Quds. The march started in front of central Gaza, and roamed the streets of the city, before ending in front of Al-Shawa Tower and Hosary; A speech festival was held on the occasion of the International Quds Day. Representatives of all Palestinian forces and factions participated in the march, during which banners were raised calling for Al Quds to be placed among the priorities of Arabs and Muslims, and to direct the compass to support the Palestinian resistance and the Al Quds Intifada. Palestine and the establishment of the state with Al Quds as its capital, which the people of Palestine offered thousands of martyrs for its liberation, the expulsion of the Zionist invaders, and the return of the land to its owners.
Greetings to the Iranian people, and we salute the Iranian leadership, headed by Ayatollah Khamenei.

In the name of Allah the Merciful
{Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, around which We have blessed}
International Quds Day, the day of renewing the covenant with Palestine and the day to set the compass towards AlQuds.
It is a great destiny of God Almighty for us to be among the people of commitment and jihad on the land of Palestine, and to be a thorn in the throat of the Zionist enemy and its allies. AlQuds and Palestine in the hearts of the nation, the International Quds Day came on the last Friday of Ramadan, as a global call to find a real awakening to the central issue of the nation, which our Arab and Islamic nation has missed for many years due to colonialism and occupation of countries.
So the Islamic Revolution came in Iran to reverse reality and cancel the embassy of the Zionist enemy in it and turn it into the embassy of the State of Palestine. Imam Khomeini, may God have mercy on him, declares Quds Day to be a day to support the weak in the world and a day for Palestine and Al Quds and renew the covenant of loyalty and work in favor of supporting the resistance and the Palestinian people in their battle against the occupation and its usurpers.
Since that time, Quds Day has constituted a major transformation in the reality of the nation and the world, as we see that tens of millions have gone out to commemorate this blessed day on the last Friday of Ramadan, while they renew their support for Al Quds and Palestine, renew their covenant towards the unity of the nation for Palestine, and terrify the enemy in great scenes. Supporting the central cause of the entire nation.
We, from the heart of Palestine and from Gaza, the fathers, cherish this day, which has become a day in which the spirit of resistance, defiance, and Palestinian steadfastness in the face of the occupation and its usurpers is embodied, in which our people cross as every moment the most wonderful pages of glory, heroism and redemption through the blood of the martyrs and the steadfastness of the prisoners and the challenge of resistance to the Zionist military machine and the American and global support for the entity the terrorist.
Al-Quds International Day represents a real day of terror for the Zionists and their supporters, and it has become a warning message to every weak-willed and imprinted with the enemy that this entity will come to an end, and whoever ally with it will be annihilated.
The axis of truth will triumph with Palestine and Al Quds at its heart, and will foil all conspiracies being hatched against Palestine and its people.
Quds Day is the day of loyalty to the true martyrs working for the liberation of Palestine, and to confirm that Al Quds is the axis that the nation must gather around it to support it.
As we salute from Palestine and Al Quds and from Gaza the resistance, to everyone who celebrates this blessed day and comes out in support of Palestine, greetings to the Islamic Republic of Iran and their influential efforts in support of Palestine and Al Quds. We are approaching liberation and victory, and we will all pray together, God willing, at Al-Aqsa.

Imam Khomeini, may God’s mercy and blessings be upon him, was aware of the nature of the conflict with the Zionists and deeply aware of the dimensions of the battle with this hateful, cancerous entity when he focused his intelligence and foresight – since the first moment of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 – on the core of the Palestinian cause and its main axis, which is Al Quds. The holy Islamic city, which for us does not mean only the earth, the stone and the trees, but rather the spirit of a nation, the conscience, the honor and honor of every free Muslim human being, in whose veins the blood of pride, dignity and faith pulsates.
Given the centrality of this city in the struggle with the enemy, and the fact that controlling it and resolving the battle over it means the end of the conflict with this entity and its expansionist settlement project. The Zionist enemy and its sponsors did not spare any force or any possible effort to confiscate this city and obliterate its identity and control over it by all means and means, sometimes through cheap blackmail, and sometimes by using brute force to recognize it as the capital of the state of the alleged entity. In addition to the crimes committed by the enemy hordes against the Palestinians of the 1948 interior to break their will and humiliate them until they raise the white flag and surrender to the fait accompli.
The recommendation of Imam Khomeini, may God have mercy on him, came at the appropriate time, and as a natural response to the global arrogance that is biased to the oppressor, so that the ember of this issue remains alive and pulsing in the conscience, and to keep Palestine and its sanctity present in the field, renewed every year with the last Friday of the month of Ramadan through popular marches and uprisings enthusiasm in all capitals of the world to condemn the criminal occupation and remind the world of its brutality and arrogance.
Thanks to the Imam’s will, the issue of Al Quds and Palestine has turned into a meeting point for Muslims, a source of their unity, and a date for the interaction of free peoples with the oppression of the Palestinian people, who are subjected to murder and racial liquidation.
The organization of the celebrations for the International Day of Al Quds this year comes in light of the heroic and courageous battles led by the sons of the West Bank cities in Palestine. From the stationed in Al-Quds Al-Sharif, which terrified the enemy to the courageous commando operations, the last of which was before the days of the two commando operations in Tel Aviv, which shook the depth of the entity and expelled its military apparatus and security about its development due to the strength of these two operations and their success in penetrating its fragile security.
Thanks to Imam Khomeini’s will, the Palestinian people are fighting the battle of liberation side by side with all the free people in the world, at the forefront is the honorable axis of resistance, which has thwarted all the dirty projects that the nation has been exposed to over the past decade.
Greetings on this glorious day to all the honorable resistance fighters who sided with the truth and sided with the victim, and a salute to the leader and supreme leader Imam Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran for his permanent and firm support for the Palestinian right and support for it with everything it needs despite the pressure and the strict siege and greetings to the masses of Palestinian people clutching at the embers of the issue, creed and principle.
And freedom is all freedom for the heroic prisoners of Palestine who are subjected to all forms of abuse and humiliation in the prisons of shame.
And mercy to the martyrs of Palestine, the righteous leaders and when we remember the martyrs of Palestine and Al Quds, we automatically remember its martyr and the leader of the vanguard of its martyrs, Haj Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force and the great martyr of Palestine, who gave his whole life to Palestine and Al Quds until it reached what its armed factions reached in terms of deterrence, balance of power and a change in equations
And to confirm the continuity of the approach of these martyrs, I hope that this year’s celebration of the International Day of Al Quds will be an opportunity to defeat the enemy and bring down all conspiracy plans targeting Palestine and Al Quds.

On International Quds Day… Al Quds is calling for you
On the last Friday of Ramadan, the nation celebrates the International Al-Quds Day, the memory of the place revives, and the history reappears. After the mosque was stormed, and defenseless civilians were exposed to the utmost forms of abuse and arbitrary beatings, in front of the eyes and ears of the world. These scenes, which seem painful, carry hope behind them, because the occupier in its recent escalation expresses despair and weakness, while the more the people of the mighty rise up, the more the occupier’s calculations are wrong.
There is no power in the world that can liquidate the Palestinian cause, as long as there is a living people, who always expresses the justice of their cause, and as long as there are Arab, Islamic and international peoples that express maximum solidarity with this people, and as long as the Palestinian cause becomes days, holidays and seasons that refresh the memory and make the history of the struggle connected. A rope between the past, the present and the future. The uprisings and protests of the people in the occupied lands, and all their heroic achievements during a year of unequal confrontation, reinforced the march of struggle crowned with hopes and desire for liberation and liberation, and undermined major plans, the last of which was the Deal of the Century. Every year the Palestinian issue becomes more vital and urgent, while all justifications for occupation and unjust settlements recede, and burn its way to the dustbin of history. Palestine only needs a poem for a redemptive nation to rise, but how many capabilities and brutality the occupation needs in order to continue in a turbulent existence, on a dark horizon and an ambiguous future.
No people suffering under occupation need to come up with proofs of their legitimate right to resist the occupier. Rather, the uprising of free peoples in the face of the occupation is a gain for those peoples, an awareness of the justice of the cause, and a station that imposes the achievement of more solidarity. To the extent of the uprising, new gains are added, and the signs of resounding victory loom on the horizon.
Palestine did not lose anything with the decline in Arab solidarity, the deterioration of the Arab ranks, the growth of normalization policies, and the contradiction of Arab interests. Rather, it was a necessary turning point to reset a new rhythm for the Palestinian struggle, and the emergence of feelings of challenge more among the Arab people in Palestine, realizing that it is the first concerned with the advancement With his cause, and through his presence in positions of challenge, he forces the Arab conscience to reopen the correct accounts, and to revive the contents of the Arab Charter, which has become an absent duty in a difficult regional and international context.
There is cause for optimism, as the Palestinian struggle coincides with the entitlements of the international transformation towards a new world order, which will inevitably be in the interest of the Palestinian cause. At the expense of Palestinian and Arab rights. And since the resistance has imposed itself as an essential element in the conflict equation, what appears to some as an indication of the liquidation of the Palestinian cause is an indication of a coming turning point, in which the Palestinian people will achieve many gains and victories.
On the International Al Quds Day, which has become one of God’s days in the life of the nation, and a gain from the revival of the era of anti-global arrogance, we have nothing but to salute the free people in all parts of the world, emphasizing that the morning of victory is near, and the spring of Al Quds is coming, and the flower of cities will grow and grow. May the will of the peoples’ triumph in the face of the occupation, and bring down all the arrogant schemes and projects in the region, and every year you are holy and victorious.

Quds Day…Battle unity
As every year, we respond to Imam Khomeini’s call, may God be pleased with him, to celebrate Quds Day on the last Friday of Ramadan, which came to support the Palestinian people and the Arab nation and its freedom through their adherence to their rights, land and sanctities, and not accepting concession, negotiation, reconciliation or recognition of this usurper entity since its establishment in 1948 and confirmed it Khartoum Conference after the setback of June 1967.
And let us not forget here that this anniversary this year will have another form of celebration under the roof of new events in the occupied land, in the region and in the world, events that give definite features about the beginning of a new phase that will lead to the restoration of rights and the end of the entities of hegemony and arrogance, foremost of which is the entity of the Zionist gangs in Palestine.
While the Palestinian people’s uprising continues, and their resistance escalates in line with the growing capabilities of the Arab resistance in Lebanon led by Hezbollah, and the strengthening of the victories of Syria, the first fortress of resistance in the face of the terrorist conspiracy and the American and Turkish occupations, Yemen was able to force the regimes of the coalition of aggression to request a truce through the mask of the United Nations.
After it The Yemeni army and the popular committees were able to launch devastating strikes against institutions and strategic targets inside the Saudi and Emirati entities, in addition to liberating multiple cities and regions from the Saudi and Emirati occupations.
The Iraqi people’s rejection of normalization attempts is increasing, and their demands are growing to expel US forces from their bases and military and intelligence centers in order to harmonize with the whirring of Islamic missiles that It struck the hideouts of the entity’s intelligence in Erbil and with many operations of the valiant Iraqi resistance.
The meaning of Imam Khomeini’s call to celebrate Quds Day, as we in the nationalist trend in Iraq interpret it, is a call for the unity of the battle between factions, forces and national liberation movements and resistance against the forces of hegemony, arrogance and occupation under the roof “that what was taken by force will not be recovered without force.”
Hence, we see that it is our duty all of us to stand with Palestine and line up with its popular uprising and with its armed resistance, and that this stand and this line up is manifested in its best form when we confront the forces of arrogance and resist the American and Western occupation forces, which often include soldiers and officers of the “Israeli” army, which are spread in More than one arena in our region in which we live, especially those that occupies Iraq and occupies areas in Syria, and interfere in Yemen in support of the brutal aggression against the people of Yemen and against their will, as they interfere in more than one place in our Arab and Islamic countries. It is to protect the security of the Zionist entity.
To demonstrate the accuracy of this opinion, I am guided by the saying of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in which he said:
“The issue of Al-Quds, Al-Quds Day, and the newest Palestine, is the point at which the weak of the world should be concerned with destroying and crushing the emergence of the world’s great arrogance, on top of whom is American imperialism and its Zionist agents.”
It is the right of all of us to join hands and cooperate and ally ourselves under the slogan of the unity of the battle, because this battle is one. Rather, we are all legally, nationally, Islamic wise and humanly obligated to stand with the Palestinian people and that the Palestinian cause in word and deed for it’s our first cause.
We all have the right to support each other in some and in all arenas to face the dangers together, the Zionist entity was not made by anything other than Western colonialism, and it was only able to survive with American Western support, because, as the immortal leader Gamal Abdel Nasser described it, “a cat’s paw of colonialism”.
In order to break this cat’s claw, we must pursue it with the cat itself. Wherever it is in our country.
In conclusion, I refer to the responsibility of the Islamic Republic of Iran in supporting the oppressed peoples, as recommended by Imam Khomeini, “(We will prevent with all our presence and energies the expansion of American blackmail and the expansion of the immunity of America’s agents, even if it requires us to struggle by force”, as the Iranian leadership did not hesitate to offer all kinds of Support and support for the Palestinian people and resistance.
Quds Day must be a continuous activity supporting the struggles and jihad of the Palestinian people and their resistance in order to establish the restoration of Palestine and the establishment of its state with Al Quds as its capital.
Glory and eternity to the martyrs of Palestine.

Statement on the occasion of International Quds Day:
Al Quds is closer—Al Quds brings us together
Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the master of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet and our example, Muhammad bin Abdullah, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and his pure family.
In the beginning to all, my warmest congratulations and blessings on the month of fasting, the holy month of Ramadan.
The month of jihad against the pleasures and desires of the soul. The month of jihad to uphold the word of truth and support the weak in all parts of the earth.
The word of truth needs to be contemplated and contemplated and requires effort, readiness and sacrifice for those who have a cause. As a resistance against injustice and arrogance, we have a central issue, and it is a victim of conspiracy and arrogance, which is the Palestinian cause. It is the cause of every human being living on this globe. It is made of colonial circles. What is called the hateful Israeli entity is a tool of Zionism and imperialist circles. The project of the Israeli entity is a project based on usurping the rights of the other.
However, no matter how compelled Zionism is, it will be confronted with a project that opposes and resists its dreams. When the will of liberation and breaking of restrictions triumphed, and the Islamic Revolution triumphed in the Islamic Republic of Iran, this revolution established a school of resistance to arrogance, and the call of the leader of this revolution, Imam Khomeini, was that the Palestinian cause remains the cause of every free and honorable person. The concern of Muslims and the world is that this last Friday of Ramadan is the Friday of Palestine, and in our belief in this call, we renew the covenant and loyalty to Palestine.
The Palestinian cause, no matter how much evil circles struggle against it, there are eyes that guard it and bodies that resist the sacrifice of its sanctities. The hateful Israeli entity is living these days in moments of its true annihilation as a result of the determination and sacrifices of the Palestinian people, and the resistance in all parts of the world stands by its side. Congratulations to Palestine and its people, and congratulations to the honorable resistance as they achieve victories, and the hour of victory and salvation is undoubtedly coming.
Victory for Palestine.
Defeat and shame for Zionism and its agents.

On the International Quds Day
We celebrate and celebrate with us the Arab and Islamic world on the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan every year, the day that came in response to the call and cry of the leader and leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, His Eminence, the Great Ayatollah Imam Khomeini, after the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
This call in which His Eminence called on all the peoples of the world and Muslims in all parts of the globe to stand with the oppressed Palestinian people and to defend their rights, and to the side of the usurped Al Quds in order to liberate it.
Since that time, celebrations have spread all over the world in support of the Palestinian people and are increasing year after year.
On this great occasion, I salute the arrogant and appreciative of the spirit of His Eminence Imam Khomeini, the author of this call, and salute to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the leadership, people, army and Revolutionary Guard, and at the forefront of them, led by His Eminence Imam Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Revolution, who stood firm and strong by deeds, not words. Alongside the Palestinian revolution and defending Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and all the oppressed in the world. Where Iran has provided and continues to provide its unlimited support to the Palestinian resistance and its various factions and provided it with weapons and expertise, and our Palestinian and Arab people still remember that great day when Iran closed the Zionist embassy in Tehran and expelled the Zionist diplomats and declared the site an embassy of the State of Palestine and raised the Palestinian flag, on it. This was done in at the time when the largest Arab country (Egypt) signs the Camp David Accords and opens an embassy for the entity in Cairo, the Zionist flag is raised over it. Yes, it is a historical paradox.
On this occasion, the International Quds Day, we must pause in front of Al Quds and why it is gaining such importance on the global level, especially for the three monotheistic religions.
For Muslims
Al-Quds is the gateway of the earth to the heavens, the Night Journey and the Ascension, and the Almighty says:
It is the first of the two Qiblahs and the third of the two sanctuaries. Therefore, Al Quds acquires a great symbolic and religious value among Muslim peoples, endowed by God Almighty.
As for the Jews, they consider it their religious capital and it became their holiest site after the Prophet David conquered it and made it the unified capital of Israel in the year 1000 BC and that his son Solomon built the temple as stipulated in the Torah. The Jews consider that they have lived in this area for 3000 years and consider themselves the owners of the land, while the truth is that the real owners of the land are the Palestinians, whose roots extend to Yabus and Canaan, and they are the ones who built the city of Al Quds in the fifth millennium BC and inhabited it more than two thousand years before the presence of the Jews there.
As for Christians, it is the cradle of Christ, peace be upon him, and the place of his birth. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher or the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, a church within the walls of the Old City of Al Quds, is considered the holiest and most important Christian church in the Christian world. The church, according to Christian beliefs, contains the place where Jesus, peace be upon him, was buried, and its name is the Holy Sepulcher.
Yes, it is the religious status that the city enjoys, and no other city in the world has the same, and this is what made it the center of global attention on the one hand and the power struggle on the other hand.
It should be noted that the area of the Old City of Al Quds (the center) is less than 1 square kilometer, which is about 900 square meters.
If we review the history of Al Quds, we can say briefly that the city was destroyed twice in its history and was rebuilt.
Throughout its history, the city was besieged 23 times, was invaded 44 times, and the city was attacked more than 52 times.
The city of Al Quds is considered a focal point and the core of the Arab-Zionist conflict in the region.
After the defeat of 1967, the State of Israel seized the West Bank, including East Al Quds, and annexed it to the State of the State, considering it an integral part of it, despite the fact that the United Nations and many countries of the world did not recognize this decision. The United States and some western countries. This made it persist in its policies. On July 31, 1980, it took a decision in the Zionist Knesset to consider Al Quds as the united capital of the state of the entity.
It is known that the majority of the official and governmental institutions of the entity state (such as the Knesset, the Council of Ministers, the Supreme Court and others are located in West Al Quds).
The celebration of this occasion this year comes in light of great conditions and developments witnessed by the region and the whole world, developments on the level of the axis of resistance on the one hand, and the ongoing normalization on the other hand, and developments at the level of the ongoing war in Ukraine
These developments on the level of the resistance axis were represented by the following:
First, in Palestine. This year, Palestine witnessed great and important developments towards the escalation of the confrontation with the Zionist project by the Palestinian people, and this was represented by the donation of our masses in Al Quds, Sheikh Jarrah and the Negev, and the strong and active participation of the masses of our people in the 48th.
This year also witnessed major confrontations in Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, Bethlehem and its villages, where the militant operations escalated in many areas, and culminated in the Battle of Saif al-Quds, in which the resistance factions in the Gaza Strip responded to the call of Al Quds and Al-Aqsa and began bombing the State of Israel with missiles, and this happens for the first time that The resistance begins the battle and controls its path, beginning and end, and has been able to impose new equations on the enemy and has achieved many achievements, the most important of which are:
It affirmed the unity of the people and the land, and proved the fragility of the Zionist entity. It also confirmed that the Palestinian people possessed the determination, will, and steadfastness that would enable them to defeat the enemy. It proved that there was neither security nor stability for the enemy state, and it brought millions into underground shelters in a precedent that did not happen on this scale. Before, it is known that Aba Obeida was the one who set and lifted the curfew hours. And drew a big question mark about the future of the entity state.
Yes, it is a battle that has made the Palestinians and the Arab nations proud, despite the loss it has borne in the form of the martyrdom and wounding of many heroic resistance fighters and our people, and the destruction of homes and institutions. But we say that this is the price of freedom and the liberation of the homeland.
There is no doubt that the heroic Freedom Tunnel operation also came to record a new victory for the resistance when 6 heroic resistance fighters managed to free themselves from prisons, and despite their re-arrest, it provided great indications and carried many meanings that became known to all. In addition to all this, the escalation of qualitatively combative operations in Al Quds, the Negev, Tel Aviv, Bani Brak, Khdeira, and the valiant resistance in Jenin and the rest of the Palestinian cities and villages confirms the reality that today we are closer to the liberation of Palestine and this is no longer an illusion, and this is what many data indicate.
Second, in Syria, Syria has withstood the global war against it for more than 11 years.
Although the war has not ended completely, Syria has achieved victory due to the steadfastness and cohesion of its people, army and leadership. The recent visit of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to the UAE and his warm reception are only a clear indication of the beginning of the end of the Arab siege on Syria and this beginning, and it will not be long until we see Syria returns to occupying its natural position in the Arab League, and this may be through the upcoming Algeria summit, for which the Algerian leadership is making tremendous efforts for this and clearly declares that there is no summit without Syria.
Third, in Yemen, the Yemeni people, their army and leadership have persevered, fought with unparalleled valor and courage, and were able to achieve miracles and force Saudi Arabia and those with it to retreat. Yemeni missiles were able to demolish the Saudi and Emirati capitals and topple the Decisive Storm.
Fourth, on the Lebanese level, Hezbollah was able to withstand and break all the attempts aimed at undermining and demonizing it, and it is getting stronger every day and imposing its equations on the enemy. And drones, manufactured locally and self-sufficient.
Fifthly, in Iraq, the Iraqi resistance forces have thwarted the political conspiracies that targeted and continue to target Iraq’s unity and sovereignty, and not only that, but they were able to deal many strikes to the American bases and centers there.
Sixthly, in Iran, the Iranian leadership and people have persevered in the face of the continuous siege imposed on it, and were able to force the United States to start talks in order to return to the nuclear agreement, which it withdrew from previously, and we are now at the gates of signing despite some difficulties.
And not only that. Today, we see Iran responding to the attacks on its lands, and this is what happened recently in striking the spy dens in Erbil. In addition, today we hear the statements of Sayyed Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who says that any aggression against Iran will be responded to in the heart of the entity in a clear message to the enemy state and its protectors in the United States.
If this is what is happening at the Arab and regional level, and confirms the achievements made by the axis of resistance, we must refer to global developments, what is happening in Ukraine and the ongoing conflict between the United States and NATO and those with them on the one hand, in the face of Russia and those with it on the other hand, where Russia is now By defending its existence on the one hand, defending principles and values in the face of American arrogance and hypocrisy, and redrawing the geopolitical maps of the world anew.
Yes, we are now facing a third world war, which the United States and its allies have ignited and prepared for years ago.
We are now facing a new world, and the post-war period will not be the same as before.
Russia fought this war forcibly and had no other choice, and it will win it despite all the political, media and military mobilization and unprecedented sanctions against it.
Russia knows what it wants and how to fight this war, and it has no choice but to win, and defeat the United States, as it will not be the only pole that leads the world and we will be facing a new multipolar world, and after the Russian victory, many countries will change their positions, especially the allied countries, when they realize Changes and facts on the ground and get rid of American hegemony
There is no doubt that we are facing a new stage that we must prepare and deal with so that we do not miss the train.
As Putin said, it is the battle to correct history and the battle to end American hegemony over the world
Everyone has to make up their minds
Either it is with America, its brutality, its double standards, its occupation of the lands of others and its exploitation of their wealth. Or you can face it and confront it
There is no longer room for the middle position
On this great occasion, we call for the unity of all Palestinian forces on the basis of a resistance program that rejects surrender and concessions and is based on partnership.
With resistance and unity, we achieve victory.
In conclusion:
Greetings to Al Quds on Al Quds Day
Greetings to the rising Palestinian people in Al Quds and the resistance everywhere
Greetings to all who stand in solidarity with our people for their rights
And a special greeting on this day to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership, people and army
And mercy, all mercy to the soul of Imam Khomeini, the owner of this cry
Freedom for Palestine and its prisoners
And glory to the martyrs.

On Al-Quds International Day, about the Palestinian cause: its past and its prospects between friend and foe
These days, the whole world and the Palestinians are standing in contemplation and consideration before an issue that is the most just in history and the most obvious grievance. We are all facing a moral test to define positions and seriously draw new strategic lines that will enable us to take calm, reassuring and confident steps, enabling us to aspire to a resounding victory that will enable us to recover our stolen rights, return to our stolen villages and cities, and expel the usurping enemy from them.
We have to understand that this will not happen at all if we remain as we are of disunity, fragmentation, and opaque ambiguity.
Because of it, we do not distinguish between an enemy and a friend, and we do not separate our workforce in an atmosphere that prevents us from seeing the past in which our ranks were breached and all our hopes of achieving any victory were dashed. And if this victory is achieved, we do not build on it, nor do we establish through it to start again.
We have always been deceived by our Arab rulers, and it seems that we are still so until something happened that we did not pay attention to its dimensions and dangers. And normalization was that which was nothing but a real alliance with the enemy, starting from Madrid and passing through Oslo, until we ended with what we were in of a reckless and reckless confusion, amid strong winds, as soon as the banners of victory waved through rare tournaments, starting from the tunnel of the six heroes, all the way to the hero of Jaffa, and we are still employing in terms of what we know and do not know the sedition traps set for us by the enemy, with complicit Arab hands, and a brazen authority that coordinates with the enemy openly during the day.
So we are still confused, and we must put an end to this deadly confusion, in order to sort out our forces, prepare the traitors and accomplices, and define our enemy from our friend, in order to build new relationships.
We must start with it from the first day of the success of the Iranian revolution, which expelled from its land the Zionist ambassador, who immediately moved from Tehran to Cairo and Mecca, then to Oman, Bahrain and Qatar, and after that America was able to manipulate us until it reached us to portray Iran as the enemy.
We deviated from the compass to fight it and conspired against it, and in the meantime, the resounding cry erupted to dedicate the last week of the holy month of Ramadan to the Palestinian cause, where we mobilize, mobilize and recalculate amid fierce storms of normalizing plots and treacherous authoritarian Arab conspiracy.
Yes, we are still able to mobilize the Arab masses to rally around the revolution, and we are still able to do that in cooperation with the Iranian ally, the Syrian fighter, the Yemeni hero and the Hezbollah mujahideen, to get rid of the conspiratorial and persistent authority in conspiring with the enemy, and those suspicious movements that are still talking about what they describe as the 67 times And what is described as the two states is solved at other times, then promoting it with villainy and rudeness.
Yes, we have to build again, following in the footsteps of the six heroes who own the miracle tunnel, and in the footsteps of the hero of Jaffa, and then coordinating with the allies we referred to without delay and hesitation. That is our way to victory, and there is no other way. What was taken by force can only be recovered by force, and that is our only way, so let us take it with the courage of honorable heroes and revolution until victory.

Member of the General Secretariat of the Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance
Al Quds is in our hearts and minds
an introduction:
The commemoration of International Quds Day this year coincides with developments at the Palestinian, regional and international levels, the most prominent of which is the escalation of resistance operations inside the occupied territories, the maturation of conditions for the launch of a third popular uprising, despite the Palestinian political fragmentation, and the change in the balance of power and deterrence with the occupation army.
It also coincides with the approach of the Islamic Republic to completing the revival of the nuclear agreement with the Europeans, and consequently with the United States of America, which withdrew unilaterally in 2016.
And Syria’s recovery from the repercussions of the global war that targeted it after the defeat of terrorist groups. As well as the epic victories achieved by the Yemeni resistance.
In addition to the collapse of the Zionist ambitions to expand the circle of countries involved in the so-called Abraham agreements, to establish their presence in the region.
In light of the double political, military and humanitarian standards that revealed the false allegations of the West, which appeared in their position on the Russian-Ukrainian war, which constitutes the biggest gateway to changing the world order and overthrowing uni-polarity and establishing it on the basis of multi-polarity in the world.
But the most important thing is that all the American Zionist propaganda and the billions that paid for the distortion and cancellation of the International Quds Day did not and will not succeed, and the revival of the Great Holy Friday continued in the countries of the Arab and Islamic world, because Palestine is not just a bright picture or a colored map, or a handful of dirt, but is rooted in Our hearts and conscience. Its liberation is a sacred duty. The struggle of the believers will lead to the elimination of the Zionists, the true face of systematic terrorism.
Why Quds Day?
The Palestinian cause in general and Al Quds in particular represented the most prominent concerns of the Iranian leadership after its revolution triumphed and saw the light on February 11, 1979, until the defense and adoption of this cause became a top strategic priority and Iranian policy, and it was raised in all international forums, and the success of the Islamic Revolution became an event that does not touch the national interior Not only Iran, but it also constituted a geo-strategic transformation that has cast its shadows and influence regionally and internationally and imposed itself on the nature of the alliances that changed from the first moment and the Palestinian issue constituted a major title of the conflict.
This influence was represented in two forms that cannot be described as formal symbolism, as far as they can be classified as two variables that left their direct impact on the course of the Palestinian-Zionist conflict.
The declaration of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, His Eminence, Imam Ayatollah Khomeini, was made in a statement he announced on 13 Ramadan 1399 AH, corresponding to 7 August 1979 AD, calling for the adoption of the last Friday of the month of Ramadan to commemorate the International Quds Day, and dedicating it to planting awareness in the memory of Muslims and the free people of the world.
And prepare themselves to be ready to face their enemies, as he affirmed in his statement: “I call on Muslims all over the world to dedicate the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan to be Quds Day, and to declare international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
And asking all Muslims in the world and Islamic governments to work together to cut off the hand of this usurper – Israel – and its supporters.
The reason for choosing this day, i.e., the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan, which is called the Orphan Friday or the Friday of Farewell, is to remind Muslims after a month full of fasting, worship and good deeds of the cause of Al Quds and Al-Aqsa, the first of the two Qiblah and the second of the Two Holy Mosques and stolen Palestine, and what the Zionists practice in these places The pure inhuman terrorist crimes aimed at Judaizing the city of the prophets and obliterating Islamic and Christian landmarks in it, and making it the eternal capital of their usurped entity.
Therefore, Imam Khomeini decided, to make this last Friday an international day for Al-Quds Al-Sharif.
We must talk about the important factors that prompted the Imam to adopt this issue, since he received the Palestinian leader “Yasser Arafat” on February 17, 1979, who was the first guest to visit Iran six days after declaring the victory of the Islamic Revolution of the same year, and during his visit he raised The Palestinian flag on the headquarters of the “Israeli mission” in Tehran, after the imam directed to make it an office for the Palestine Liberation Organization.
After shuttle meetings in Tehran and its contacts with some countries of the cordon, led by Syria, starting in September 1979, to organize a political and media campaign led by Iran to confront the treacherous Camp David Agreement. This turned Iran into a major and central incubator for the axis of resistance and opposition in the Arab Mashreq, and the actual supporter of the Zionist entity’s orgy and the arrogance of American imperialism.
As for the second picture that shows the transformations that resulted from the revolution in Iran, it is the formation of a military corps within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, known as the “Quds Force,” whose mission is to liberate Al Quds and provide everything necessary to support the Palestinian people and the resistance factions in the course of their struggle with the usurper entity and the countries supporting it.
The Quds Force, which had a major role in resisting the Zionist occupation in Palestine and southern Lebanon and confronting the American occupation and Takfiri terrorism in Syria and Iraq, even its commander, the great martyr Qassem Soleimani, was one of the first to fight terrorism in Syria and contributed to confronting the Zionist army in the July 2006 war that it launched against Lebanon.
The Quds Force posed an existential threat to Zionist, Western and American interests and ambitions in our region, and all capabilities were put in place to fight it, so they targeted Commander Soleimani with a treacherous assassination, and he rose as a martyr on the altar of Palestine.
Based on the foregoing, it can be said that Tehran and its revolution leader’s adoption of the Friday of Al Quds constitutes a practical translation of the position of the oppressed, the oppressed, the weak and the tormented in the land of the injustice, oppressors, tyrants and oppressors of various colors and sects. His land is with the power and might of world imperialist tyrants. Therefore, the importance of Quds Day emerges in the following aspects:
- On the religious level: highlighting the importance of the high status of the city of Al Quds to Muslims, Christians and all believers in their various orientations, sects and sects, and calling for the liberation of its holy lands that concern all the peoples of the world such as the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and all the places of worship that contain it and keeping it in their conscience and memory, and clarifying the importance of preserving To these holy places and not to neglect them, whatever the reasons, temptations and pressures.
- On the political level: Emphasizing the illegality of the occupying Zionist entity, and the necessity of serious action at all levels to expose its crimes and purify Al Quds of its abomination. Stopping the excavations aimed at demolishing Al-Aqsa Mosque and obliterating its features, stopping the project to delete Palestine from the world map of geography, and demanding the legitimate legal rights of the oppressed Palestinian people.
- At the international level: Unifying the word of the oppressed in all parts of the world
The world and the need for cohesion among them to confront the schemes and intrigues of the arrogant powers, which aim to tear them apart, plunder their wealth, occupy their land and control their destiny. In contrast to the arrogant, Quds Day is a day in which we must rid all the oppressed of the claws of the arrogant, a day when all Islamic societies must announce their existence and issue warnings to the major powers.
- Exposing the countries and regimes dealing with the usurper Zionist entity, allowing the peoples to express their will and opinion towards the Palestinian cause, and making the Palestinians feel that they are not alone in the field of confrontation with the Zionist entity, especially after the Arab leaders abandoned the Palestinian cause and turned it into a mere economic and human rights problem. Concerning the Palestinians, according to what the American and Zionist political propaganda machine sought and using Gulf money to rob the global dimension that Quds Day gained them, in conjunction with the success achieved by the Zionist negotiator in dismantling the coherence and unification of the tracks in any comprehensive solution to the issues of the Arab-Zionist conflict, and replacing it with the playing of bilateral negotiations, solutions and deals Unilateralism, with Zionist unilateralism with each of the countries of the encirclement separately, starting with the Camp David Accords, passing through the Oslo Accords and Wadi Araba, and ending with the American Deal of the Century, which threatens to liquidate the issue and rob the rights.
What confirms the importance of Quds Day, which carries multiple connotations and considerations in the political, military and humanitarian fields, which are represented in the following:
First: Iran and the countries of the Resistance Axis are committed to the Palestinian cause in word and deed. Since the first day of their victory, they have raised the flag of Palestine in the sky of Tehran as a substitute for the banner of the Zionists that fell with the fall of the Shah’s regime affiliated with the American colonialists and Zionists. Quds Day is an embodiment of this commitment by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leadership, its people and its Revolutionary Guards, which in turn embodies this commitment with direct support for the popular and armed Palestinian resistance, and the formation of the Al-Quds Division recruited for this purpose.
Second: Emphasizing the fundamentality of the ongoing conflict between the rightful owners of the original inhabitants of Palestine, and the colonialists and Zionist settlers who occupied Palestine with the force of terror, abuse and brutal oppression, and displaced the greater part of the Palestinian people from their land and homes. AS the leader Antoine Saadeh said, there is no concord, no recognition, and no peace with the Zionists who invaded Palestine with the support of British colonialism first and then the endless American support.
Third: The Palestinian issue is an international humanitarian issue that does not concern the Palestinian Arabs only and the Arab world, but also all the Islamic and free peoples in the world, and that supporting the struggle of the Palestinian people is a religious, human and moral duty based on a struggle between right and wrong. Between the oppressed people in their land and homeland, and the occupying settlers who seized the land and expelled its inhabitants.
Fourth: Consecrating the reality of resistance and demanding rights and continuing to remind generations from year to year that there is an occupied land, and that Holy Al Quds is usurped and subjected to continuous aggression by the Zionists, and that the lack of security and stability in the region and the spread of terrorism that threatens global peace and security is caused by the continued occupation of Palestine by the Zionists.
Fifth: thwarting and thwarting the American-Zionist plans aimed at fragmenting the region and tearing it apart in order to obliterate the Palestine cause and sanctify it for the Zionists, and to confirm that the Zionists want to cancel all Arab Palestinian rights.
Sixth: Granting the option of resistance and armed struggle the necessary legitimacy and securing the necessary support for its continuation and the development of its capabilities, which is the task entrusted to the Quds Force, as it was able to bring about a tangible development in the performance of the resistance represented in providing expertise and advice to the resistance movements and factions in confronting the terrorism of the Zionist entity and its aggressive practices, and moving to the practice of an organized resistance act that has its own organs, leaders, and hierarchical divisions, as well as material and moral support, developing the capabilities of the military factions, and training their members in making and using weapons, mechanisms of abandonment, and military tactics.
In conclusion, we must extend our greetings and blessings to the spirit of Imam Khomeini, and to the soul of the martyr Qassem Soleimani, and the souls of all the martyrs who shed their pure blood on the battlefields of jihad, so it was described as victory and liberation.
We pledge to them that we will remain faithful to this pure blood to restore our rights and usurped lands.
At the forefront of which is Palestine, all of Palestine, and the liberation of Al Quds and the holy sites from the abomination of the usurping Zionist enemy.

Announcement on the occasion of International Quds Day
At the end of World War II, the countries represented in the newly established United Nations by a large successive majority of votes rejected the creation of the State of Israel demanded by the powerful and wealthy Zionist organizations. After intense political and financial pressure, Truman and the United States were able to change the voices of the rebels, including France, which had previously voted against them, to adopt Resolution 181 partitioning Palestine on November 29, 1947.
In a fascinating book published in 2014, Alison Weir explains how Truman succumbed to Zionist pressure to gain their support for his upcoming re-election, against the advice of the majority of American diplomatic and defense officials, including Dean Acheson, Kermit Roosevelt (grandson of Theodore), George Marshall, James Forrestal, George Kennan, who saw this creation as jeopardizing US interests in the Middle East for low domestic considerations.
General de Gaulle also lamented in his famous press conference on November 27, 1967 that the establishment of this state was a mistake because it was “on a land acquired under conditions under somewhat unjustified domination, and in the midst of the Arab peoples who were hostile in The basis for this “entity” since its inception.
Nor was this country satisfied with what the United Nations offered it and continually sought to conquer the lands by military force, and then to hunt down and exterminate the indigenous population, especially Christians and Muslims, who behave towards them as the Nazis did against them during the war.
But little by little the resistance has built and organized itself, at the cost of massive sacrifices and many martyrs, and now it is dealing fatal blows to the Zionist entity, which will not be able to continue its denial of the rights of the Palestinian population, and more and more despicable allegations against it.
The Zionist entity has only been able to free itself from all basic human rules, violate hundreds of UN resolutions and act like a Nazi power, with the unwavering support of 74 years from the USA. Because Israel is the military wing of the American strategy in the world that uses the Nazis, like the Islamist Takfiris, to destroy countries that oppose its strategic goals.
Many of the world’s crises have in the background the presence of an outlaw state in the Middle East, backed by an equally outlaw superpower, which still believes that it is capable of imposing its perverted materialistic views of man and family and the basic values of any civilization. This is understood by more and more Jews in the world and they are revolting against these deviations from the spiritual values of the religions of the book.
The Russian special operation in Ukraine exposes these vile alliances: the United States shows that it is ready to kill all Ukrainians to prevent Russia from ending its irreversible supremacy, even if the Europeans and the corrupt succumb to them, believing that they are still the center of the world, while supporting the vast majority of the planet overtly or covertly, Russia is restoring its role in shaping international relations, which has been distorted by the United States since the end of the Soviet Union, to prevent normal and logical understanding and cooperation between Western Europe and Russian Eurasia, which they see as a competition for their supremacy.
The new multipolar world order that Russia is establishing through its operation in Ukraine will have clear and beneficial consequences for the resistance of the Palestinian people and their powerful international backers: Iran or Yemen, China and, above all, now Russia is raising its voice against Israel because of the recent violations in Palestine and its support for the Ukrainian Nazis.
The result of the Russian operation will be a new balance in the world, based on respect for states and justice in global trade, which leads de facto to the recognition of the noble cause of the Palestinian people and the establishment of their national sovereignty over the entire land of Palestine occupied by the Nazi Zionists.
On this day of International Quds Day celebration, all faithful Muslims, Christians and Jews around the world unite to encourage the Palestinians in their struggle against the occupation that is now near victory, as part of the world reorganization carried out by Russia: the end of the supremacy of evil forces, the United States has become a power Among others to establish a scientist.
Cooperation, justice, and getting rid of Nazi extremism or Takfiri extremism, which ultimately has the same foundations and the same methods. Then a sovereign Palestine will ensure its development compared to the rest of the world, and provide security guarantees for its various components.

Algiers: Ramadan 21, 1443 – April 22, 2022.
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
[Glory be to the One who took his servant at night from the Sacred Mosque to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
He who has blessed us around him so that we may show him of Our signs that he is the Hearing, the Seeing]
The Noble Qur’an 01-17
No two people from the Nation of Islam disagree that Al-Quds Al-Sharif is the true compass of the Ummah, and it is the responsibility of all Muslims, Arabs and non-Arabs, and it is the cause of the unifying and unifying Arabs.
Al-Quds Al-Sharif is an identity that every Muslim in this land carries, and it is certainly a trust that every believer undertakes in this issue of first priority.
The more the nation slumbers, its head hits the ancient walls of Al Quds, and whenever the memory strays, the sight of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock stings it.
What is currently happening in the enclaves of Al-Quds Al-Sharif daily, the Zionist gangs send test messages to feel the pulse of Palestinian public opinion. The Arabism and Islamism of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, where the general mobilization succeeded in the face of the incursions, so they broke the shackles and the siege, and nullified the attempts of this tour.
It is true that Al-Quds Al-Sharif is subjected to repeated, cumulative attempts to erase the identity, its features and origins are absent, and its residents are subjected to restrictions for deportation, and consequently the demographic change in favor of the Jewish presence in the city. And the compass of conflict, and the focus of attention of all the free people of the world, it is the place of concern and revolt towards the decisive campaign to purify it from the filth of the Zionists.
The late Imam Khomeini, who was inspired by God Almighty for this divine initiative represented in his announcement of the International Quds Day, immediately after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, specifically on August 7, 1979 AD, is that the International Quds Day will be on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. His appeal stated:
Without a doubt, the International Quds Day revealed the fact that Muslims currently have no goal but Al Quds, and apart from this goal, it is deviation, deception, lies, hypocrisy and deception. The goals of governments, parties, organizations, armed groups, personalities and individuals, in which there is no place for Al Quds.
The International Quds Day is the day of separation between the men of God from the true Mujahideen resisters, whose compass did not deviate one iota from the real enemy of the nation, despite all the fierce sectarian strife winds. The Takfiris, the sectarians, and the Arabs of the Persian Gulf states who are rushing to “normalize” and who have no enemy except the safe Muslims and Christians, and they have no goal but to sow sedition, chaos, unrest, destruction and devastation. As for the Zionist enemy, it has no effect on their thinking and practices.
Unfortunately, the International Quds Day will come upon us this year, and the Islamic nation is still in a slumber, and the brutal criminal Zionist aggression is still attacking the land of Palestine, as well as Syria, as well as the events of the rest of the nation’s lands from Iran, Iraq, Yemen and the American military presence in this region and what is going on from A drain on the capabilities of the nation by a gang of ignorant Takfiris. These events, and their coincidence with the International Quds Day, prompt every free person to compare what is happening in Iraq and Syria and three days ago in Afghanistan at the hands of the new Kharijites or “false Mujahideen”, of crime, barbarism and absurdity. And destruction, where the enemy is, there are Muslims and Christians who, with fatwas of blasphemy, turned into “infidels”, “apostates” and “infidels”. And between what is happening in Jenin and Gaza, where the true Mujahideen are writing great epics of redemption to defend the land and honor, while they are confronting the fiercest enemy the Islamic nation has known for centuries.
The International Quds Day remains a day in which everyone’s secrets will decay. Those who sincerely believe in Al Quds and support the resistance, and those who do not believe in Al Quds and support the takfiris, cannot be against Zionism and support the takfiris, just as it is not possible to be with Al Quds and support the resistance fighters, and God is dominant over him, but Most people don’t know.

General Coordinator of the Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance in the United Kingdom.
The official spokesman for the powerful liberation revolutionary movement in Yemen.
International Quds Day is a day to revive the culture of resistance and resistance to normalization with the Zionist entity.
Today we celebrate the 43rd anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s declaration of the last Friday of Ramadan the International Quds Day, and with this announcement today and since 1979 we have been reviving the International Quds Day to remind the world of the oppression of our people in Palestine, and that Al Quds is an Arab and Islamic capital as the capital Heavenly religions and not the capital of global Zionism.
43 years, and the commemoration of the International Quds Day still occupies a very great importance in the hearts of all honest and free people in the world, and I remember that I celebrated this day as the International Quds Day when I was a student in the primary school in the city of Aden, the capital of the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen before the unity of Yemen in the year 1990 AD. Which was one of the countries of the Front of Resistance and Resilience, which was formed after Sadat’s visit to the Zionist entity, and normalization with them in 1977.
Aden in southern Yemen was a meeting place for all the free people of the world who rejected normalization with the Zionist entity, and it is still to this day resisting the occupation, Saudi-Emirati aggression, and normalization with the Zionist entity. Today, Yemen, despite the pain of the siege, war, aggression and the Saudi-Emirati occupation for 8 years, still stands with the cause of the Palestinian Arab people, and against normalization with the Zionist entity.
The departure of millions of our Yemeni people in solidarity marches and the commemoration of the International Quds Day every year in many Yemeni cities is a sincere confirmation of the loyalty of our people in Yemen to the Palestinian cause. Yemen gives all the support to the Palestinians in their struggle for the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine.
Therefore, I wish to pay attention to the mother, childhood, and the culture of the child, and to instill the culture of resistance in the hearts of our children in our Arab and Islamic world. These generations, armed with knowledge, work, and a culture of resistance, are the ones who are resisting Zionism today in Al Quds and Palestinian cities in all of Palestine and everywhere. It is the one that revives the International Quds Day in Palestinian cities and all over the world.
Greetings to you on the International Quds Day, and I pledge to you that we are on the path of liberation struggle, resistance and resistance to normalization.

43rd Anniversary of International Quds Day
The commemoration of International Quds Day this year comes in difficult circumstances, with the continued escalation of the Zionist entity, its soldiers and forces’ brutality against Muslim worshipers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the storming and violating the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Al Quds, and the assault on worshipers and Christian clerics.
The International Quds Day, which was launched by Imam Khomeini on the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan in 1979, is considered not only a special day for Al-Quds Al-Sharif, but also the day of confronting the oppressed with the arrogant and the day of the renaissance of the weak peoples who have suffered greatly from the injustice and oppression of America and the hegemony and tyranny of the major powers and the occupation of the Zionist invaders, that this glorious day with its various and varied activities has revived the Palestinian cause and placed it at the top of the priorities of the nation’s issues that the enemies, the printing press, and the puppet Gulf regimes wanted to liquidate and obliterate.
And we, members of the Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance in the United Kingdom, declare again on the International Quds Day our solidarity and support for the struggle of the Palestinian people, and the adoption of the option of struggle and resistance as a strategic option in recovering its occupied land by the usurping Zionist entity, and the establishment of its Arab state Palestine with its capital, Al-Quds Al-Sharif.
The International Quds Day is the day of reviving the jihad for the sake of Al-Quds, the day of reviving the determination, gathering the energies and uniting the efforts, and it is the day of reminding the nation about the nature of the conflict between the peoples of the free region and the Zionist entity of terrorism, that it is an existential struggle between the original people of Palestine and the Zionist invaders who met From all parts of the earth, to steal the land of Palestine and its sanctity from its people, to profane its purity, to kill its children and shed their blood, using false pretexts and deceptive rituals in the name of the Torah and Talmudic myths.
The International Quds Day also constitutes a practical starting point towards building a pivotal system in establishing the pillars of Arab and Islamic unity wanted by Imam Khomeini by reviving the millions demonstrations, holding councils, seminars, conferences, holding exhibitions and celebrations in various countries, capitals and international forums, to keep Al Quds present and alive always and forever in the hearts of the believers and the minds of the believers. And the hearts of Muslims and the free people of the world and in their orientations, aspirations and hopes based on faith, strength, ability and power for the liberation of Palestine and the determination of the fate of the weak peoples, and for the weak peoples to declare their existence and prove their existence before the arrogant tyrants.
Peace be upon Palestine, Al Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Greetings to the steadfast people, the Mujahideen and the Rebels.

International Quds Day
On the occasion of the renewed Friday over generations, and it will remain year after year since Imam Khomeini announced it, may his secret be sanctified, and until today, we all affirm that Arab Al Quds will one day return to the bosom of its people and its sanctities will return to the rightful owners.
When the Sadat of Egypt signed the agreement of shame with the Zionist entity in 1979, and before that he had traveled to the Zionist entity, recognizing the legitimacy of its existence, and Egypt had been declaring since 1967 that (there is no reconciliation, no recognition, and no negotiation with the Zionist enemy), the response was coming from our people in Iran with a revolution that would not be repeated. in history.
In the same year, it confronted the forces of colonialism, Zionism and Arab reaction and brought them down all, when the people of Iran came out calling for freedom and declaring their adherence to a free Arab Palestine from the first moment of the revolution. Perhaps it is one of the rare revolutions in history. An entire people revolt against a king who is a client of America and Zionism, protected by his own guard forces, the SAVAK, and part of the army, but when the people rise in rebellion, there is no force on the face of the earth that can confront it.
Before the revolution in Iran, Gamal Abdel Nasser had assigned the Egyptian General Intelligence to search for forces supporting the Arab position and hostile to the positions of the Shah of Iran to coordinate with them, especially as Imam Khomeini sent a message to the whole world asking for the help of the people of Iran to confront the Shah.
After the American intelligence was able to eliminate the movement of Dr. Muhammad Mossadeq and nationalize Iranian oil, and the intelligence in Egypt presented its report, which concluded that there are several strong forces in Iran that are opposed to the Shah, which are:
-Opposition parties in the royal court. It is difficult to rely on cooperation with them.
– The movement of Iranian students abroad, which has an influence outside the country and has little influence inside Iran.
-The movement of the mountains, led by Muhammad Qashqai, is a movement against the rule of the Shah, but it is in need of great supplies of money and weapons and its impact on a specific geographic area and not throughout Iran.
-The Iranian freedom movement is led by some mullahs, and they have a tremendous influence on the Iranian people, and their discourse is heard by all the people.
The Iranian freedom movement was chosen as having a strong influence and ability to influence the Shah’s rule in Iran. The ambassador / Fathi El-Deeb, the Egyptian ambassador to Switzerland at the time (and one of the founders of the Egyptian intelligence service) was assigned to contact and consult with members of the movement.
Indeed, Ambassador Fathi El-Deeb reached out to communicate with the leaders of the Iranian Freedom Movement, and agreed with them to visit Egypt for consultation and agreement. Indeed, a group of leaders of the Iranian freedom movement moved to Switzerland, and from there they received Egyptian passports to travel to Egypt. They came to Egypt in January 1964, and talks were held between them and the Egyptian General Intelligence delegation. An agreement was signed between them on January 15, 1964, in which the following gentlemen were signed on the Iranian side: Parviz Amin, Mustafa Shamran, Bahram Drasetin, and Ali Sherifian Razavi.
From the Egyptian side: Kamal El-Din Refaat and Muhammad Naseem (the commander of the drilling operations and Raafat El-Hagan).
The leaders of the revolution had committed themselves to an agreement with Egypt when their revolution succeeded in implementing a number of things, including:
1- The nationalization of Iranian oil as the people of Iran dreamed and as tried by Dr. Muhammad Mosaddeq.
2- Severing ties with the Zionist entity.
3-Recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the legitimate representative of the Palestinian Arab people.
4- Coordination with Egypt and the non-aligned countries in a firm position in the face of American and Zionist arrogance.
5- Commitment to support the Arab nationalist movement.
This is what they did immediately after the success of the revolution in a year, despite the decease of leader Abdel Nasser and the transformation of the political system in Egypt at the hands of Anwar Sadat, who concluded a peace and disgrace agreement with the Zionist entity, so Iran came to carry the flag and complete the journey.
Then the Iranian revolution:
1- By declaring the nationalization of Iranian oil.
2- The declaration of the Iranian Republic and the abolition of the monarchy.
3- Converting the building of the Zionist embassy into an embassy for the Palestine Liberation Organization, and recognizing the Palestine Liberation Organization as the representative of the Palestinian Arab people.
4- Supporting the Arab forces resisting the Zionist entity, the most important of which are Syria and Hezbollah.
Since the first year of the revolution’s success, Imam Khomeini declared the last Friday of Ramadan to be the International Quds Day, emphasizing the continuation of the struggle for its liberation without taking into account what the masters of Egypt had done. Iran has become the archenemy of Zionism and colonialism.
And still the last Friday of the month of Ramadan until today, and since the call of Imam Khomeini, a day when free people in all the world declare their determination to restore and liberate Al Quds.
This year’s International Quds Day comes within the framework of the Palestinian resistance’s operations at home, which inflicted heavy losses on the Zionist enemy, the martyrdom of a number of resistance fighters in defense of Al Quds, and the response to the Zionist settlers in their attempts to Judaize Al Quds and storm Al-Aqsa with commando operations against them that affect all the occupied Arab land in Palestine from Al Quds to The West Bank to Gaza to every part of our occupied land. Day by day, the resolve to liberate Palestine increases, until the day of celebrating the International Quds Day in Al Quds comes, God willing.

From Palestine to Pakistan: International Quds Day…No to Global Arrogance
International Quds Day is a unique initiative launched by Imam Khomeini (may God bless him and grant him peace), as it became a movement against arrogance and arrogance, led by the Zionist entity.
On this day, Muslims around the world condemn the practices of the Zionist entity inside the occupied territories; including assassinations, usurping lands, torturing and killing innocents, and in their cries they demand the elimination of arrogance and infidelity.
The initiative of Imam Khomeini breathed a new spirit into the equation of confrontation against the Zionist entity and led to decisive developments in this direction. As the late Imam said: “Quds Day is an international day, and it does not only concern Al Quds, but it is the day of confronting the oppressed against the arrogant.”
The philosophy of Quds Day in the thought of the late Imam (may God be pleased with him) means rejecting all forms of usurpation of the land, violating sanctities and sanctities, and displacing a people, by falsifying history and fabricating baseless religious theories and beliefs. The cause of Palestine will remain in the conscience of the honorable and loyal, as announced and wanted by the late Imam on the International Quds Day.
On the twenty-ninth of November 1947, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved Resolution 181 on the partition of Palestine. At that time Zafarullah Khan, the first foreign minister of Pakistan in the United Nations stood to say and ask, as the “Expatriates Department” of the Palestine Liberation Organization states, “What is your purpose in establishing a state for the Jews? If the motive was humanitarian, why do you close your borders to them? Why do you want to settle them in Palestine and help them establish a state for them to displace a million Arabs?”
This early Pakistani position formed a basic basis for a Pakistani foreign policy based on renunciation of recognition of Israel, and even participation in its fight. The Pakistani governments, on many occasions, have confirmed this that they consider the issue of Palestine an “Islamic issue” and accordingly Pakistan, the government and the people, are committed to supporting the Palestinian people.
Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, said after speculation about the possibility of normalizing relations between Pakistan and the Israeli entity that his country was under pressure to recognize Israel, “For me, there is no possibility of recognizing Israel unless there is a settlement that satisfies the Palestinians.”
Imran Khan’s media office published a tweet on Twitter, which read, “Our position is very clear, and it is, as the great leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah said, that Pakistan will never recognize Israel until the Palestinians are given their right to a just settlement.” In answer to a question about the Kashmir issue, Imran Khan said, “India is trying to change the identity of Kashmir, similar to what Israel did in Palestine.”
There are other, no less severe stances towards the usurping entity, which Khan launched during his years as prime minister of the Pakistani government. His absolute support for the Palestinian cause, and his public criticism of the Islamic world, which failed to confront the racist Zionist project, and stop its massacres against the Palestinian people, were the causes that pushed the United States of America to remove Khan from the political front and restrict him.
However, the Pakistani people said their word, rejected foreign interference, refused to recognize the usurping entity, and declared in the street that they are against the policy of arrogance and that they are with the Palestinian cause until the last breath.
This is what the coming days will prove in the developments, for the cause of truth Palestine remains despite all the attempts and deals.
From the day the arrogance was rejected and the day the weak were confronted against the arrogant, we will say our famous word “Death to America and death to Israel” and we will be victorious for our sake and for the sake of Palestine, God willing.
- International Quds Day is a call for unity, resistance and facing challenges
Dr. Amin Mustafa
Member of the Board of Trustees of the Global Gathering in Support the Choice of Resistance.
If we follow what the city of Al Quds has been exposed to over the past years, and is still being subjected to until now, in terms of Judaization schemes and projects, we would realize the importance and depth of Imam Khomeini’s call to revive the “International Quds Day”, on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan every year. To remind that Al Quds is the kiblah of Muslims and Arabs, it was and will remain that way for ever and ever, and no power on the face of the earth will be able to destroy it, desecrate it, divide it or change its features. It will remain the eternal capital of the Palestinian people.
Imam Khomeini, with his wisdom, awareness, and awareness of the history and the present, and the nature of the current conflict, which means dedicating a day to Al Quds, read the meanings and dimensions: political, ideological, security, intellectual, religious, humanitarian and patriotism. And the Arabs and all the free people of the world towards a just and real peace.
The revival of this day comes now, during which Al Quds is witnessing a massive uprising against the Zionist occupation, and confrontations during which the Al Qudsites and the rest of the Palestinian people made the most precious sacrifices, in defense of the nation, its sanctities and its dignity, and to bring down the projects of Zionist hegemony, arrogance and racism, at the stage of the enemy’s belief that it is in a time of silence. International, and Arab normalization is capable of imposing its dictates and achieving its expansionist goals, so he took advantage of this ambiguous regional and international climate, and started destroying homes, displacing the Palestinian population, and killing and arresting hundreds without deterrence or accountability and impose his dominance.
This reminds us of what successive American administrations have done and are doing, in providing facilities and support, and putting pressure on the countries of the world, to stand by the Zionists and falsify history. to the Zionist entity, moving the American embassy to it, and inviting the countries of the world to meet him, but he left as did his frivolous signature.
Al-Quds as Imam Khomeini saw it is not just a city or a holy land, or only the Aqsa Mosque. Rather, he saw in it the battle of truth against falsehood. He saw in it the victory of the oppressed and oppressed Palestinian people. .
The celebration of this day by our Arab and Islamic peoples and the free people of the world, through millions of marches, is a clear evidence of the response to what Khomeini proposed, as it is evidence that Al Quds lives in the heart, conscience and feelings of these peoples, and war machines and conspiracies will not be able to extract this conviction and this emotional outburst And value from the chests and memory at all.
Al-Quds International Day is an important political station for contemplation and development of programs for how to strengthen and develop methods and means of resistance, to restore full and uncompromised rights, from the clutches of falsehood.
International Quds Day, a call for serious dialogue, gathering the word on issues of truth and justice, thwarting sedition projects, splitting ranks, scattering the nation’s capabilities, and moving steadily towards the liberation of Al Quds and all areas of occupied Palestine.
The International Quds Day is an explicit and clear call for resistance, and to strengthen its axis, which has proven its presence and effectiveness in the field on a different level, by mobilizing all the capabilities of steadfastness, effective energies and generosity. There is no way to break the restrictions and end the siege except with the will of the resistance.
International Quds Day addresses the printmakers who have mortgaged their fate to illusions, return from the wrong path of misinformation and neglect the rights of the nation, and retracted from supplying the enemy with the oxygen of survival, and turned into a force of support for the Palestinian people and the central cause of the nation, and to stop engaging in colonial alliances that have no goal but exploitation and looting.
The occupation, and whoever accepts himself to remain in the fold of the enemies, will reap nothing but disappointment and the shame of history.
International Quds Day, a message for free peoples, to reject despair and frustration, and to remain firm on the principle of truth, because it is the path to salvation.

For The Global Gathering In Support Of The Choice Of Resistance
On the occasion of International Quds Day
4/29/2022
Each year, the last Friday of Ramadan coincides with the anniversary of the International Quds Day, which has become an occasion and a global demonstration, celebrated and invested by the honorable and free people of the world, in support of the steadfast and struggling Palestinian people for the liberation of Palestine and the expulsion of the Zionist occupier, and the establishment of the Palestinian state with Al Quds as its capital.
On the International Quds Day, determination and will triumph, and the resistance that connects Al Quds triumphs, and it assures the entire world that the memory of generations is alive, and it will be transmitted generation after generation that Palestine is Arab and will remain Arab and its capital is Al Quds, the pearl and beacon of the world, and that the martyrs of Palestine and the prisoners detained in the prisons of the Zionist occupation are the torch They are the beacon for liberation, return, independence and sovereignty, and Palestine, all of Palestine, will be a dear homeland for all the Palestinian Arab people.
The commemoration of the International Quds Day this year comes in light of very complex Arab, regional and international circumstances and conditions. The Arab nation is at its worst, Syria and Yemen are facing terrorism, occupation and aggression, Iraq and Lebanon are living through divisions and complicated and fateful internal conditions, and Libya is doomed by the plans of the Atlantic Alliance, and a number of Arab countries rushing to normalize with the Zionist enemy, and much more.
Globally, the Russian military operation in Ukraine revealed the true face of America and the Zionist and deceitful West, and confirmed the fact of their bias and support for the Zionist entity, at the expense of the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights of return, freedom, independence, sovereignty, and building an independent Palestinian state with Al Quds as its capital.
On this global occasion, the Syria branch of the Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance stresses the Arab identity of Palestine and the need to continue the work, struggle and resistance for its liberation, independence and sovereignty, and stresses the right of return for the struggling and resisting Palestinian people, and calls for the release of all prisoners and detainees in the prisons of the Zionist occupation, it also calls The United Nations, the Security Council and all international bodies and organizations in order to restore the full legitimate rights of the Palestinian Arab people in liberation and return and the establishment of their independent state with Al Quds as its capital.
Long live free and proud Palestine
Mercy to the martyrs and glory to the resistance

In the name of Allah the Merciful
Glory be to Him who took His servant captive at night from the Sacred Mosque to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, around which we have blessed
Believe God Almighty
On the occasion of the International Quds Day, which was announced by the great Imam Khomeini, may God be pleased with him, immediately after the victory of the Iranian revolution, and the Islamic peoples received it with much interest and considered it a new, renaissance initiative of the Islamic nation that was long overdue and the hope that motivates the movement towards the natural compass
After the absence of these large, purposeful and comprehensive initiatives that are far from sectarian, sectarian, ethnic, borderline, and other causes that lead to weakness, such as dispersal and disunity.
But with now, things today do not look so good because of what we see today of the challenges facing the Islamic Ummah, which is highlighted by this crazy inclination towards normalization with Israel by most of the governments of Islamic countries and giving the occupying state the opportunity to stay more and more geographical spaces for it in the Islamic lands to plant its toxins on a larger scale and aggressive move.
The other matter, which is the most dangerous, is what we see today of the indifference that these peoples show today towards this humiliating and shameful normalization and the failure to move to stop it as if it had become a normal and natural matter.
Which is what those concerned must search for its causes and treat it quickly before it escalates and turns into another dilemma.
Perhaps we can diagnose some of its internal causes.
The parties concerned with this initiative bear some responsibility for it because of their neglect of the relationship that they had with the Islamic peoples and that they preferred to transfer it to the relationship with governments based on economic and political interests and to delegate this relationship with the peoples of the nation to some organizations and people who are not at the required level.
They are concerned with their narrow personal interests, instead of building and maintaining this relationship, destroying it with bad policies and bad effects that have imprinted their fingerprints whenever they come and go, emptying the initiative from its civilizational content and its collective spirit.
I only cared about the annual reports on the evening of that great day so that they would satisfy those responsible with their mouths to continue.
The International Quds Day must remain sacred above regional, organizational and tribal interests. It is always based on finding common ground, collective sense and Quran awareness.
In the name of Allah the Merciful
And hold fast to the rope of God all together, and do not become divided, and remember God’s blessing upon you, when you were enemies, and He united your hearts, so by His grace you became brothers, and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it. Thus God makes clear to you His verses so that you may be guide
Believe God Almighty
May God have mercy on the great Imam Khomeini.

Speech of the Secretary-General of the Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance, Dr. Yahya Ghaddar, to the General Conference of the Gathering held in Baghdad on the occasion of International Quds Day
In the name of Allah the Merciful
Brothers and sisters in the Global Gathering to support the choice of resistance in Iraq, the resistance and the victories.
Dear brothers and sisters participating in our conference.
Blessed be your fasting and worship in the month of goodness, faith and giving, the blessed month of Ramadan.
May Allah accept your deeds and fasting.
Brothers and sisters.
Our conference takes place on a dear and precious occasion, as we celebrate the International Quds Day launched by the leader, Imam Ruhollah, the Great Ayatollah Khomeini, may his secret be sanctified. Al Quds rises and revolts with its old and youth, and the sons of Palestine from Nazareth, Galilee, Umm al-Fahm, Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Safed, Beersheba and Lod gather in the Grand Mosque to protect it and prevent the Zionists from desecrating it, and to present their sacrifices in the mosque in an effort to extract it and turn it into a Zionist temple to abolish the identity of Al Quds, Judaize it and impose control over Our sanctities.
The Palestinians from the 48 cities and towns of the West Bank and Palestine are united day and night, facing bare chests and with faith the arrogance of the usurping occupier and the flocks of settlers and religious usurpers. The one who rises with weapons and resists with knives and run over, renews the covenant and fulfills the choice of resistance as the only option to restore the usurped right and liberate Al Quds, the eternal capital of Palestine, all of Palestine.
Brothers and sisters.
With its sacrifices, heroisms, and legendary capabilities, the axis of resistance has changed the direction of developments and balances, and affirmed its ability to extract and accumulate miraculous victories and fight in all arenas and fields and in all areas and branches of war. The victories confirm that the day of liberation is near, and perhaps we are living and anticipating them at any moment.
Our Palestinian people are renewing their intifada and transforming by resistance from running over, knives and individual heroism to systematic and organized work, with weapons and with elaborate operations, that shook the land under the feet of the occupiers and intimidated their society and the herds of extremists.
So, what is going on in the 48th West Bank and Palestine confirms and renews the fact that Palestine is an issue for the nation and a national issue that cannot be divided or compromised and there is no fate for the traitorous typographers but the dustbins of history.
In conclusion
We must only thank the branch of the Global Gathering in Support of the Choice of Resistance in Iraq, especially His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Youssef Al-Nasiri, the General Coordinator of the Gathering in Iraq for organizing this central conference. I also thank all the participants in this conference and this is a step in the right path. A serious effort to popularize the culture of resistance and confirm its legitimacy and that it is the only option for the Arab and Islamic nation to liberate the sanctities and restore the usurped lands. We must come up with serious practical recommendations to launch a sustainable, diverse and advanced Arab, Islamic and global campaign to support Palestine and to revive the International Quds Day and to support and glorify the act of steadfastness, intifada and armed resistance until the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine from the river to the sea.

Al Quds is the hub
The International Higher Committee, which chose this occasion this year under the slogan “Al-Quds is the axis.”
Question: Why is Al Quds the pivot?
Why not Baghdad, for example, or Tehran, or Jakarta, or Cairo, or Beirut, or Ankara, or one of the other capitals?
My beloved;
The element of failure and backwardness of our world today (the world of the weak)
Today we are a defeated world, there is no justice in the distribution of wealth, clients are victorious here and there, and the tyranny of tyranny and its deadly claws are implanted in the body of our country, but why are we still raising:
Al Quds is the axis
Therefore, if Al Quds is wounded and violated, then this means that we are defeated
That is, all the weak peoples on earth, and therefore it is the victory of arrogance.
Therefore, Al Quds is the compass with which it defends all peoples. Painters, plastic artists, artists, poets and writers draw all praises to Palestine, because it is not a symbol of our defeat now, but rather a symbol of our victory after eliminating the frivolous Zionist entity in Palestine.
Today we are defeated
Arrogance still supports, sponsors and protects Zionism, and we are defeated.
We are not fighting a battle with a foundling country called Israel only.
Rather, we are wrestling with a media empire led by Mordechai, and behind it all the media that are hostile to us and hostile to us, an economic empire led by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the dollar, Western currencies, and the management of wealth sales such as oil and others in our countries.
We are wrestling with a cultural empire that is hostile to our culture. The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, says: “Your first field is yourselves. If you are able to do so, you will be able to control others, and if you are unable to do so, you will be incapable of others.” Here we cannot manage our oil and we do not know where this oil is sold. I do not mean Iraq alone, but most of our countries.
Today we with social media cross borders and we live in one global village
We are at the gates of humankind’s return to walk without an identity, but our wealth is still wasted and we do not know where these riches go, and we do not even ask about them
Dear friends, rebuilding the economy, culture, justice and security are all omens of victory that must be achieved in our countries, but as long as the Zionist occupation is tampering with Palestine, not all of this will be achieved in our country.
So, if we end the Zionist entity in Palestine and liberate our people in Palestine, this means that we have achieved social, economic, cultural and political justice in our country.
No nation or people will be victorious without the victory of Palestine. Therefore, we are at the gates of building the axis of his heart, Al Quds.
Why not create an Islamic, Arab, non-Islamic and Arab economic empire? Why not create joint universities that embrace our students from all over the world and educate us on building our peoples, restoring our wealth and equitable distribution, why not treat patients in all our countries and eradicate poverty and ignorance as well? This approached the last address, and frankly, we will not be able to liberate Palestine without the last address. Perhaps most of us do not practice it, but support it.
It is the liberation of Palestine, security and militarily, and frankly, for more than half a century, we have raised the slogans of Palestine and the liberation of Al Quds, and our slogans remain useless. Why do more than 150,000 worshipers pray in Al Quds last week on the last Friday? Is it not because you gather here and defend them while they feel and know that?
Aren’t Al Quds natives today dining and rejoicing because the world protects and defends them? Otherwise, there is no arrest, abuse, humiliation and dragging of women and an insult to our dignity and our honor.
Aren’t Al Quds residents today dining and rejoicing because the world protects and defends them? Otherwise, what is happening there in terms of arrest, abuse, humiliation and dragging of women and insulting our dignity and our honor. But they do not despair, but rather increase in courage, faith and patience because of you, when you decide to defend and fight with them.
Today, we do not only possess weapons, but we also own weapons factories in Gaza, in the depths of Palestine, and in all our Arab and Islamic world surrounding this usurping entity. Four days ago, the Islamic Republic of Iran presented a documentary report to one of the European countries, in which documents pictures of the new storage of the weapons of the Zionist entity in Palestine and the new storage in warehouses. The word is that Israel transferred its weapons to these new stores.
It was given to that European country to hand it over to the Zionist entity.
This means that the Zionist entity is not only within the range of our missiles in the resistance, but today the Zionist entity is within the range of the stones of our children in Palestine.
Here they are today, in one night a year ago, as you remember, the number of missiles fired from Gaza exceeded 1,400. Is this not a change in the equation of the strategic war balance with this entity from the land of Palestine, and here we are with our mobilization, our armies, our forces and our peoples, and here we are facing the weakness and collapse of the countries of normalization such as the kingdom of sand Saudi Arabia and other of these cartoon countries that will not remain hours or minutes. If we decide to liberate them, we will pray in Al Quds before it, in Medina and Mecca, and we will liberate our country from the advanced defense armies of Israel that protect the Zionist entity.
The deal of the century failed.
And normalization failed.
Iraqi Parliament will vote on a law criminalizing normalization and printing people should be imprisoned or tried with the most severe penalties, which is the death penalty because espionage is punishable by death because it does not betray a small issue and does not cause small economic destruction here and there.
The spies in our country are not held accountable, and there is no one to knock and discipline them.
They started talking comfortably here and there about normalization and dragging others to it.
The criminalization law is not only a human nor a religious requirement, nor a national one, but it is a human law that no one accepts the rule of spies.
Today we commemorate International Quds Day
Congratulations to Imam Khomeini for this global project.
Because he did not want to defend only the people of Iran or the Islamic and Arab peoples, but rather he wanted to liberate the oppressed in order to achieve their sovereignty and independence, so he gave the first embassy in our contemporary history after he closed the Israeli embassy, which is the largest embassies in the region in Tehran, and it was handed over to the struggling Palestinians, and it was the first embassy in our history and there the brothers began to establish the so-called State of Palestine. I hope that it will remain.
Al Quds is the eternal capital of Palestine
And Al Quds will remain the focus of all our issues intellectually, culturally, ideologically, and even security wise and militarily
The elimination of the Zionist entity is a moral, religious and human duty.
Therefore, the compass and the axis of our victory in our lives must remain Al-Quds Al-Sharif
Greetings to the honorable in Palestine.
Salute to the mujahideen and fighters there.
Greetings to the patient people in Al Quds.
Greetings to those who are fasting and praying there
And we, God willing, are with them among the patient, the Mujahideen, and the workers.
Soon we will be victorious together.
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
