Iran Press/ Iran News: Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf stated: "This is the power of Palestine today, and this was not possible except with the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution and the support of the Islamic Ummah, resistance groups and fighters, and these are the results of the efforts of Martyr Qassem Soleimani."
Iran's Parliament Speaker said that the Palestinian Mujahideen are working from Gaza to the West Bank, even in the heart of Tel Aviv, and stated: "If one day these fighters faced the Zionist enemy with stones, today they stand against the Zionist enemy with rockets, and today the Palestinian groups are stronger than any other time and the enemy is weaker than ever."
In a speech before the Friday prayer sermons this week in Tehran University, the high-ranking official went on to say: "Quds Day is for Islamic countries and for the revival of Islam. Quds Day showed us that the only way to our success and progress is to resist and rely on divine traditions."
Qalibaf noted: "In the first 30 years after the Islamic Revolution, we saw what successes we achieved when we relied on popularization, and we should know that relying on disbelief brings us nothing but humiliation."
The official noted: "The Zionist regime tried to get Palestine forgotten in these years, but Palestine is still alive, and we saw an example of this in the World Cup in Qatar, where the representatives of Muslim and even non-Muslim countries honored the flag and name of Palestine at different stages, and this success is due to the reason of the culture of resistance and the blood of martyrs.
Since the start of the holy month of Ramadan, the Israeli regime has imposed strict restrictions on the entry and exit of Palestinians to and from the gates of al-Aqsa Mosque. Amid heightened tensions with Palestinian worshipers, Israeli settlers also press ahead with their frequent incursions and provocative rituals at the holy site.
The resistance movements in Gaza and elsewhere have vowed to confront the Israeli regime on multiple fronts.
On April 6, at least 30 rockets were reportedly launched from southern Lebanon into the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation against the Israeli aggression against al-Aqsa. Resistance fighters based in Gaza also fired several rockets toward the occupied territories.
Palestinian sources said the regime’s Iron Dome failed to intercept most of the retaliatory rockets. Following the rocket attack, Israeli warplanes hit targets inside Gaza and positions of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas in Lebanon.
