Representative of the Iranian Jewish community at the parliament Siamak Mareh Sedq underlined Jews' participation in the International Quds Day rallies on Friday, saying that the Palestinian nation will soon be liberated from the occupation of Israel. RNA - "Jewish Iranians consider participation in Quds Day rallies as a national and religious responsibility… all walks of the honorable Iranian nation obey the orders of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei) and will shout slogans against the US and Israeli occupiers in a united and integrated manner," Mareh Sedq said in a statement on Thursday.
He added that full liberation of Quds and Palestine is close, noting that the resistance front will soon celebrate its victory.
According to Fars News Agancy, Mareh Sedq called on all monotheists, specially the Jewish people, across the world to participate in the International Quds Day rallies in their countries to show opposition to Zionism.
The International Quds Day is an annual event opposing Israel's occupation of Beitul-Muqaddas. Anti-Zionist rallies and demonstrations are held on the last Friday of Ramadan in Muslim and Arab countries around the world, specially in Iran, as well as a large number of non-Muslim states.
The International Quds Day was started by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, in 1979 as a way of expressing solidarity with the Palestinians and underscoring importance of the holy Quds to Muslims.
