Resistance leaders reiterate liberation of Palestine on Quds Day eve

The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says International Quds Day constitutes the main part of the struggle for liberation of the occupied Palestinian territories from the clutches of the apartheid Israeli regime.

Speaking in a televised speech on the eve of International Quds Day, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated that the event comprises the integral component of the Muslim world’s battle to liberate al-Quds and entire Palestinian lands.

Nasrallah said that the Axis of Resistance is at the forefront of such a campaign, emphasizing the centrality of al-Quds throughout the struggle.

“Many developments took place this year both at international and regional arenas as well as inside the Israeli-occupied lands, which were in favor of the Axis of Resistance and its battle against the occupying Israeli regime and the US hegemony,” the Hezbollah chief said.

Nasrallah highlighted that the world is moving towards the formation of a multi-polar system that will end the uni-polar hegemony of the United States.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah also appreciated recent China-brokered reconciliation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, stating that Tehran-Riyadh rapprochement thwarted potential conspiracies, reflected desire for clam and underscored the need for dialogue in order to resolve current discords.

The Hezbollah leader stated that the latest regional developments foiled divisive plots which would harm the Muslim world and serve the best interests of the Israeli regime, noting that restoration of Syria’s natural role in the Arab world would negatively affect Israel’s normalization process and its attempts to form an alliance with certain Arab states against the Axis of Resistance.

Nasrallah stated that Hezbollah has gloriously and proudly emerged triumphant over problems in the past years, describing the extent of internal crises that the Zionist regime is currently facing as unprecedented since 1948.

He went on to note that Palestinians in the West Bank are at the forefront of defending Islamic and Christian sanctities, emphasizing that special emphasis must be laid on providing generous support to resistance fighters in the occupied territory.

Moreover, the leader of the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad resistance movement said, “International Quds Day summarizes history and geography, and is an occasion when the Muslim Ummah displays its absolute certainty of the liberation of Palestine, al-Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque.

Ziad al-Nakhalah expressed serious concern over the persistent oppression and bloodshed in al-Quds and the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, arguing that Zionist occupiers are constantly trampling on the sanctities of the Palestinian nation.

Nakhalah then called on Arab and Muslim nations to broaden their understanding of the status quo in the Palestinian territories, and join resistance groups in the fight against the usurping Israeli regime.

Houthi: Zionist enemy moving towards destruction, certain collapse

Additionally, the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement called for concerted efforts to expel Zionists from the occupied Palestinian lands, terming severance of diplomatic relations and struggle against the occupying Israeli regime as a religious and humanitarian duty.

“Imam Khomeini designated the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day in order to keep the issue of Palestine alive in the hearts and minds of all Muslims,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech broadcast live from the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a on Thursday evening.

Houthi stated that the Yemeni nation has not retreated from its position to support the Palestinian nation, saying, “Our nation is trying to fulfill its religious duty and participate with Muslim freedom fighters in the decisive war against the Zionist enemy.”

He stated that the battle against the Israeli regime and US hegemony forms the cornerstone of Islamic teachings, noting that the fight against Zionism is an important factor in the rise of the Muslim world.

The leader of Ansarullah stated that the Zionists are afraid of the uprising of Muslim nations and their mobilization.

Houthi pointed out that the spirit of resistance within the Palestinian nation and the steadfastness of Muslim nations have started the countdown to the collapse of the Zionist regime,.

He emphasized that the Zionist enemy is moving towards destruction and inescapable downfall.

International Quds Day falls on the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, which was named by Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic more than four decades ago.
