Al-Quds belongs to Palestine not US, Zionist regime: Iran’s Zarif
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the occupied city of al-Quds belongs to Palestine and the Palestinian nation, stressing that the US, Zionist regime and their “brutal accomplices” can have no claim over it.
According to Tasnim news agency, Zarif tweeted on Wednesday ahead of International Quds Day rallies on Friday “Al-Quds is neither America's to give away nor Israel's to take. And NOT for brutal accomplices to try to buy. Quds belongs to Palestine & Palestinians: history shows that whomever ignores this is condemned to ignominious failure. Iran stands with Palestine.”
The International Quds Day is an annual event during which demonstrators express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposition to the occupation of the Palestinian territories by the Zionist regime of Israel.
The day is seen as the legacy of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini (God’s mercy upon him), who officially declared the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day back in 1979.
