Hawzah News Agency- The detailed message of Shia source of emulation Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi on the occasion of International Quds Day is as follows:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Every year, the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan marks the day of solidarity of all Muslims and free people of the world in defending the legitimate rights of the oppressed people of Palestine to support the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque from its usurpers.

In the past year, heartbreaking scenes of the Zionist regime's brutal attack on the Gaza Strip and other cities and villages of Palestine and Lebanon unfolded before the eyes of the whole world. Women, children and the elderly were targeted by massive bombs in their homes and kitchens, patients were burned alive in hospitals and teenagers were martyred by direct shooting. This bloodthirsty regime, with the support of the United States, did not hesitate to commit any crimes against innocent people; Western governments, international organizations and human rights institutions did not take any serious steps to prevent these crimes.

God willing, all Muslims in the world will be a source of encouragement and strength to the Mujahideen and oppressed people of Palestine and Lebanon by participating in International Quds Day rallies, while condemning the crimes of this usurper regime.

It is also essential for the leaders of Islamic countries to be firm in their stance and use every possible means to support the oppressed and not be indifferent to these crimes.

I ask God Almighty for the honor of Islam and Muslims and the destruction of the enemies of Islam, especially the infamous Zionist regime.
