Tehran (IP)- The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran said that every year on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, the people of Iran express their solidarity with the oppressed of Palestine.

Iran PressIran news: President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, said on the 21st of Ramadan: "If the Islamic states had trusted the Holy Quran instead of the United States and the arrogant in the world, the oppressed people of Gaza would not have been in a dire crisis."

Quds Day is the last Friday of the month of Ramadan on which demonstrations are held across the world to protest against the occupation of Palestine.

Soon after the Islamic revolution in Iran, Imam Khomeini called on Muslims to dedicate this day to demanding the rights of oppressed Muslims around the world - particularly in Palestine. Quds Day is a legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, who designated the day in solidarity with the Palestinians and in opposition to the Israeli regime. People across the world mark International Quds Day to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and denounce Israeli atrocities in the occupied territories as well as the besieged Gaza Strip. 219
