Why it matters:
The event underscores the ongoing support for Palestine among Islamic nations, particularly in light of the recent escalation of the Israeli violence in Gaza. It highlights the importance of unity within Muslim and non-Muslim nations in advocating for Palestinian rights.
The big picture:
As World Quds Day is observed globally, the gathering in Sarajevo reflects a broader movement among Islamic countries to stand against the war crimes of the Israeli regime. The event serves as a reminder of the decade-long and ongoing struggles faced by Palestinians and the international community's role in addressing these issues.
What they're saying:
Iranian ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Abuzar Ebrahimi Turkman, stressed the need for unity and solidarity among nations, especially Islamic countries, to support the Palestinian people and condemn the U.S.-backed atrocities committed by the Israeli regime in Gaza.
Head of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hussein Effendi Kavazovic, said, "We must keep the support for Palestine at the forefront of our concerns," noting that Muslims worldwide would prioritize the issue of Palestine.
