President Rouhani:
Iran Will Spare Nothing to Liberate Al-Quds
TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- President Hassan Rouhani said here Monday the Islamic Republic will do all in its power to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Al-Quds (Jerusalem) from the Israeli regime’s occupation and will spare no efforts to help the Palestinian people.
"The administration of the Islamic Republic of Iran, like in the past, will use all tools at its disposal to save Al-Aqsa Mosque and liberate the first Qibla (point of direction to which Muslims turn for prayers) of Muslims and will spare no efforts to help the oppressed Palestinians,” Rouhani said at a conference on World Mosque Day.
He added that the Muslim world will not allow aggressors to continue their occupation of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
"We are confident that the final victory belongs to Muslims,” the Iranian president pointed out.
Rouhani further condemned the extremist groups that kill women and children and destroy mosques in the name of Islam, saying a "bunch of ignorant barbarians" are serving arrogant powers by defaming Islam.
Over the past decades, the occupying regime of Israel has tried to change demographic map of Al-Quds by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites, and expelling the local Palestinian population.
Over half a million Zionists live in over 120 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Al-Quds. The international community considers the settlements as illegal.
Rouhani further urged the country's religious authorities to be more tolerant of the Internet and new technologies, saying Iran cannot "close the gates to the world".
Rouhani made the appeal during a meeting with preachers in Tehran, saying that Internet is important for all aspiring students and experts trying to access new knowledge and science.
