President Rouhani: Muslims to show on Quds Day Palestine will not be forgotten

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says Muslims from the four corners of the world will show, on International Quds Day, that they will not forget Palestine.

“All Muslims in the world concertedly seek the freedom of the occupied Palestinian territories,” Rouhani said on Wednesday, adding that on the International Quds Day, Muslims aim to send the message that despite the oppression against the Palestinian nation and the silence of certain entities, “Muslims will forget neither the Palestinian nation nor al-Quds.”

Rouhani added that on the International Quds Day, the Muslim community, in support of the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli regime, will, in a sense, “voice their unity.”

He further referred to the widespread acts of terrorism in the Middle East region, saying that one of the benefits of terrorist groups for superpowers and the regime of Israel is to divert the attention of Muslims from the issue of the freedom of al-Quds.
He further expressed hope that Muslims will honorably mark the event this year with their mass participation.
