Quds Day: A Rare Hope of Gazans

TEHRAN (IRNA) – The central office of Iran's armed forces, in a statement, on Wednesday described the International Quds Day as an opportunity to display the unity and decisive power of the Islamic Ummah in changing the global power structure and geometry with a focus on Islam and rooting out of the “cancerous tumor” of Israel.
The statement strongly condemned the biased silence of the so-called human rights advocacy groups and inaction of some Arab and Islamic countries towards the Zionist regime's crimes in the Gaza Strip.
"Without doubt, the coincidence of the Zionists' atrocities in the occupied Palestine with the terrorist operations of ISIL Takfiri extremists in Iraq and Syria indicate that a huge evolution is taking place in the region," the statement added.
It also called for high turnout of the Iranian people from all walks of life in the International Quds Day rallies to be held on Friday.
The father of the Islamic Revolution, the late Imam Khomeini, designated the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramdan as the day to support the rights of the Palestinians and liberation of the Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Several senior clerics and officials as well as state and non-governmental institutional made similar pleas, calling on the Iranians to turn out for the rallies.
