Celebrating International Quds Day in the current circumstances is a symbol of resistance against aggression and bullying

The details of the conversation are as follows:

AVA: Considering the current situation and circumstances in Palestine and Gaza, where the Israeli regime has violated the ceasefire and resumed its attacks, how important is it to hold International Quds Day this year?

Dr. Rouhani: Holding International Quds Day has acquired special importance in the current situation where the Israeli regime has resumed its attacks on Palestine and Gaza. This day, which is held every year on the last Friday of Ramadan, is an opportunity to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and emphasize their legal and human rights.

Since Palestine, especially Gaza, is in very difficult conditions and Israeli attacks on innocent people continue, International Quds Day is a symbol of resistance, steadfastness, and unity of Muslims and free people of the world against oppression and occupation.

International Quds Day is not just a symbolic day, but an opportunity to remind that the Palestinian issue is not just a regional issue but a global issue that requires urgent attention and action.

AVA: What global and regional effects and messages can the presence of Muslims on the scene and support for the Muslims of Palestine and Gaza on International Quds Day have?

Dr. Rouhani: The presence of Muslims on the scene and support for Palestine and Gaza on International Quds Day has widespread effects from various global and regional aspects. These effects can include political, social, cultural, and even economic aspects.

The effects of the widespread presence of Muslims on International Quds Day include: strengthening Muslim solidarity at the global level, pressure on Western governments and supporters of Israel, impact on regional political developments, increasing global awareness of the Palestinian crisis, as well as cultural and social effects that are very clear and hidden in the context of this day.

AVA: What is the religious and Islamic duty of Islamic countries towards the people of Palestine and Gaza, especially Jerusalem?

Dr. Rouhani: The religious and Islamic duty of Islamic countries towards the people of Palestine and Gaza, especially Jerusalem, based on the religious principles of Islam and the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), has several dimensions, including political, humanitarian, economic, and cultural support.

According to Islamic principles, resistance against oppression and occupation is a legitimate right. Islamic countries must support the resistance of the Palestinian people in various forms.

To address the Palestinian crisis, it is necessary to create a united front among Islamic countries. The unity and solidarity of Islamic countries can support the Palestinian people against global challenges and political pressures.

AVA: What is your message to the leaders of some Islamic countries who have remained silent and are not responding seriously to the crimes of the Zionist regime?

Dr. Rouhani: My message to the leaders of some Islamic countries who have remained silent in the face of the crimes of the Zionist regime is that today, more than ever, the world needs the voice of unity and solidarity from Islamic countries. The crimes of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people are a violation of human rights and humanitarian principles that must be firmly and seriously condemned. Silence in the face of such crimes means complicity with oppression, and it cannot be recorded in history that Islamic societies have been indifferent to oppression and injustice.

The Islamic world must loudly defend the rights of the Palestinian people and call on everyone to act, not just talk. It is the historical duty of all Muslim countries to stand up to oppression and strongly criticize any pressure that is put on the Palestinian people. Only through solidarity and resistance can we achieve justice and strive for a future free from oppression and discrimination.

AVA: What is your demand from the countries of the world and the United Nations to end the crimes and aggression of the Israeli regime against Palestine and Gaza?

Dr. Rouhani: My request to the countries of the world and the United Nations is to end the crimes and aggressions of the Israeli regime, to pay attention to human rights and respect international law. The international community must stand against the violation of human rights in the occupied territories, especially Palestine, and take practical and effective measures to stop the violence and aggression. The United Nations must fulfill its duties to ensure global peace and security and call on the great powers to abandon their interests in this matter and adhere to the principles of justice and human rights. The international community must exert greater diplomatic and economic pressure on Israel to stop military actions and anti-human aggression.
