Why it matters:
The Quds Day rally serves as a significant global platform for being the voice of the voiceless, expressing solidarity with Palestine, and opposing injustices all over the world.
The big picture:
This year's Quds Day rally, held in over 900 cities and towns across Iran and attended by people from 80 countries, underscores a global movement against Israel and a reaffirmation of support for Palestinian rights. The event, initiated by Imam Khomeini in 1979, continues to resonate as a symbol of resistance against oppression.
What he's saying:
Ayatollah Khatami stated that the rally took place in a year that was "more magnificent than previous years," emphasizing the importance of keeping the Palestinian cause alive against the backdrop of global indifference.
Context:
This year's Quds day is different from the past year due to the developments that occurred during the war on Gaza and in the West Asian region and its spill-over to the U.S. and Europe because:
- The Zionist nature of Israel has been more evident to the world
- It has mingled with trans-faith will against the Israeli regime
- Hatred towards the Israeli regime is growing high and getting deepened
- Zionist regime is struggling with internal social, political, and economic challenges
- Resistance of the Palestinian nation, along with other regional nations, has increased
- The grounds are getting more prepared than ever for the annihilation of the Israeli regime
