Rasa – The deputy head of the Supreme Islamic Shi’ah Council of Lebanon described Israel as the “spawn of Satan,” and stressed that Jerusalem al-Quds will be liberated soon. RNA – Speaking to the occasion of International al-Quds Day, Ayatollah Abdul-Amir Qabalan, the deputy head of the Supreme Islamic Shi’ah Council of Lebanon, said, “Imam Khomeyni named the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadhan as International al-Quds Day in order to emphasize the faith identity of Jerusalem al-Quds, the city which the messengers and the prophets designated and the city which the warriors and martyrs strived to protect with great sacrifices in order that it would remain as a heavenly city on earth and gave it the titles of truth and faith.”
The senior Lebanese Shi’ah scholar conveyed his greetings to all of the personalities who initiated the awakening of the Islamic ummah for the salvation of Jerusalem al-Quds, especially Imam Khomeyni, Imam Musa al-Sadr, Yaser Arafat, Archbishop Hilarion Capucci, Shaykh Ahmad Yasin and all the warriors and said, “These good people have kept alive the hope of the liberation of Jerusalem al-Quds in their hearts and stated that the right would never be lost and Jerusalem al-Quds is the one-way path that begins with martyrdom and ends with victory.”
Ayatollah Qabalan forbade any interaction with Israel and said, “Again, we emphasize that Israel is the spawn of Satan and therefore, it’s forbidden to make contact with it. The Zionist occupying regime is an absolute evil regime that doesn’t understand any language except the language of killing and hostility. Therefore, the only way to liberate Palestine, its sanctities and its people is to resist.”
He described the Palestinian people as brave and patient, and said, “Soon victory will be granted to the rightful party by the permission of God Almighty and God is the helper of those on the right path and its followers. As long as the people of Palestine insist on their rights and unite, the issue of Palestine will not be forgotten and the failure of the ‘Deal of the Century,’ which will lead to the sale of Palestine, will be defeated.”
Ayatollah Qabalan invited all Arab, Islamic and Christian countries to engage in solidarity with the Palestinian people and said, “By holding demonstrations and gatherings, they can support this country and condemn any normalization of relations with the Zionist regime.”
