Why It Matters:
Global Quds Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against Zionism and global imperialism, highlighting the need for solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The Big Picture:
While nearly 70 percent of Gaza has been destroyed, more than 50,000 innocent civilians murdered, and over 14,000 individuals buried under rubble of destroyed buildings by Israeli airstrikes, the Palestinian resistance fighters continue to stand firmly against the Zionists' inhumane cruelty and terrorism.
What He is Saying:
The leader of the Islamic Movement reiterated that Quds Day in this time is very important for the whole ummah to rise and show the world that they are together with the Palestinian people.
He noticed that some governments would not listen to the call to participate in the solidarity protest because they are puppets of the West, saying, "We don't care about them. We only care about the people. It's up to the people to rise. It's significant for the people to rise, and we thank God that we can see people in Europe and America are rising."
In an exclusive interview with Iran Press in Abuja, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky highlighted the importance of this year's Quds Day, flashing back that the annual event held last year when Operation Al Aqsa Storm was 6 months old and the number of Palestinians murdered by Israel was about 40,000 but this year, the Zionists atrocities went further.
"This year, there was a ceasefire two months ago, which shows victory of the Palestinian people, which also shows the Zionists have achieved nothing. They have achieved none of their objectives. They were only able to get their captives through negotiations. Despite the destruction by the Zionists, the resistance was even stronger. So also the resistance in Lebanon and Yemen, they're still very strong. This is the reason why the Zionists become upset and violated all the ceasefire agreements and resumed their genocide against the Palestinian people and Lebanon as well," he stated.
"That's why also the Zionists' mentor, the United States, were so desperate that they're directly confronting Yemen in what they called war," he added.
Key Points:
- The leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria highlighted the significance of the 2025 International Quds Day.
- He further exposed that the Zionist regime and its cohort, the United States, returned to the genocide due to their defeat by resistance fighters in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Yemen.
- He also commended the people of Europe and America who are rising against Zionism, describing it as a challenge for the Muslim world to also rise and show unity against the oppression of Israel and America.
