Quds Day rallies staged in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia

People in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province have taken to the streets to mark the International Quds Day in support of the Palestinian cause to free their land from Israeli grip.

Despite the bans imposed by the Saudi regime and Bahraini government, people took part in the rallies on the last Friday of the Holy month of Ramadan.

Meanwhile, in Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a, an International al Quds Day conference was held in which the speakers called on Muslims to end all ties with the US.

The speakers stated that supporting the US would be the same as supporting the Zionist occupation of Palestine.

In 1979, Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, designated the last Friday of the lunar month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, during which Muslims across the world hold rallies to show their solidarity with Palestinians.
