Iran press/Iran news: "The International Quds Day symbolizes the oppression against the besieged and displaced Palestinian people and their call to be emancipated from 70 years of tyranny and aggression and crimes by the usurper Zionist regime," said Iran's ministry of foreign affairs in a statement issued on May 30, marking the International Quds Day, which will be held on Friday.
According to Iran's ministry of foreign affairs, the statement added, "During the dark history of its existence, Zionist regime has committed different kinds of massacres, genocides, and crimes against humanity in occupied holy territories of Muslims."
"During its evil and wicked existence, it has produced no other result than the displacement of millions of people, inhumane incarceration and torture of thousands of innocent people, making thousands of Palestinian children orphans, and triggering insecurity and instability in the region," it continued.
The Zionist regime has a list of crimes against humanity
The statement said, "The Zionist regime has a list of crimes and anti-human rights moves in its track record, including the organized occupation of the Palestinian territory, making systematic efforts to fully Judaize Quds, destruction of the historical and civilizational identity of holy Quds, expansion of [Jewish] settlements in the West Bank."
It added, "Also, it has forced emigration of non-Jewish residents of Quds, depriving Palestinians of access to holy sites in the city of Quds, illegal confiscation of their landed property, destruction of their land, imposition of intense anti-human pressure on people in Gaza Strip, and denying them access to basic food, medicinal and hygienic items."
Muslims should prevent Israel from implementing the so-called "Deal of the Century"
It continued, "The current situation in Palestine and the region makes it all the more necessary for Muslim nations and governments to pay due to attention maintaining their unity and solidarity against the Zionist regime."
"While remaining extremely vigilant against this common enemy, Muslims should stand up to the conspiracies of this regime and its supporters which are aimed at creating divisions within the Islamic community and consigning the issue of Palestine as the most pressing issue of the Muslim world into oblivion," said the statement.
It emphasized, "They should also prevent Israel and its backers from putting their compromise-based political machinations into force, including the so-called "Deal of the Century" plot and holding a meeting of deception and deceit in Bahrain [where the plot is to be unveiled]."
All freedom-seeking nations should actively participate in International Quds Day.
It added, "If that happens, it will definitely be an eternal blow to Palestine and a major achievement for the usurpers of this land.
The Islamic Republic of Iran underlines the importance of Palestine as a pivotal issue in the Muslim world and the necessity of countering the Zionist regime's occupation."
"Iran also believes lasting tranquility and peace will not take hold unless the oppressed Palestinian nation's rights are fully restored by having all Palestinian refugees return and by holding a referendum in the occupied Palestinian territories with the participation of all main owners of this land," said the statement.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran praises Palestinian people's struggles aimed at liberating Palestine and calls on resistant Iranian people from all walks of life as well as all Muslims and freedom-seeking nations around the world to actively participate, like previous years, in rallies marking International Quds Day," it concluded.
World Quds Day rallies initiated by the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini is held annually on the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadhan. All Muslim nations and freedom-seekers, especially the dear Iranian people, actively take part in the demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people. 104/214
