Quds Day is the meeting point of faith, resistance and unity of the Islamic nation against the occupiers

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Mashhad: Coinciding with the arrival of the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, which has been named International Quds Day, the webinar “International Quds Day; unity of the Islamic nation in support of Palestine” was held by Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) on the occasion of International Quds Day.

 

Speaking at the webinar, Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Seyyed Mohammad Hashemi Rasti, head of the Tebyan office in Mashhad, noted: “Quds Day is a reminder of the fact that Palestine is still the number one issue in the Islamic world, and this day is an opportunity to review the goals of the resistance, explain the necessity of supporting the Palestinian people, and renew the covenant with the martyrs of the axis of resistance.”

 

Operation Al-Aqsa Storm; The Beginning of the Decline of Zionist Hegemony

Hashemi Rasti, referring to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, considered it a historical turning point in the process of fighting the Zionist regime and emphasized: “This operation was not merely a military action, but rather a symbol of the unwavering will and steadfast faith of the Palestinian people and the resistance forces that were able to shatter the myth of the invincibility of the Zionist regime.”

 

He stated: “Contrary to the heavy propaganda of the Western media, Israel neither had its Iron Dome effective nor did it have a security force that could stop the resistance. The Al-Aqsa Storm proved that Israel’s defeat is possible and this defeat is not the beginning, but will continue.”

 

The failure of the normalization project and the exposure of the true face of Zionism

Referring to the decades-long efforts of the Zionists to normalize relations with Arab countries, the head of the Tebyan office in the holy city of Mashhad stated: “Western and Zionist media and policymakers considered the normalization project their trump card, but the Al-Aqsa Storm invalidated this illusion. Muslim nations are still alive with the Palestinian cause and consider the Zionist regime illegitimate.”

He continued: “Today, even freedom-loving people in the West are no longer silent in the face of the crimes of the Israeli regime. This global awareness is the prelude to the collapse of this fake regime.”

 

The decline of American power and global awakening against Israel's criminality

In another part of his speech, Hashemi Rasti referred to the decline of American power as Israel's main supporter and said: "America's inability to contain the resistance and defend its Zionist ally has exposed the defeated face of arrogance. America, which introduced itself as the world's unrivaled power, is now only a spectator of developments on the ground."

He added: "Israel's brutal crimes in Gaza have led to a global awakening, and today, more than ever, the world's public opinion has become aware of the true face of this regime. The massacre of defenseless children and women speaks volumes about the cruelty and contradiction of this regime with the most basic human principles and human rights."

 

Quds Day; Global Support of the Palestinians

In conclusion, the head of the Tebyan Center office in Mashhad, referring to the importance of widespread participation of people in the International Quds Day rallies, said: “The last Friday of Ramadan, the eternal memory of Imam Khomeini (RA), is an opportunity for Muslims and freedom-seekers around the world to declare their solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people. This presence is not just a symbolic gesture, but a practical step towards the liberation of Holy Quds and confronting global Zionism.”

Hashemi Rasti, expressing hope for the final victory of the Resistance Axis, noted: “Hopefully one day we will gather in Holy Quds, the first Qibla of Muslims, and hold a great celebration of freedom.”
