RNA - According to Hezbollah's official al-Manar News website  His speech will be aired live on several TV channels including Al-Manar itself, Al-Alam and Iran's English PressTV channel.

The rally will be held to mark this year’s International Quds Day.

Millions of people in Iran as well as other countries in the world are expected to hold massive rallies on Friday to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people and the cause of Palestine.

The event's overarching theme is support for the Palestinians and fierce denunciation of the Zionist regime.

It is seen as an opportunity for freedom-seeking people across the world, regardless of faith, to voice their support for the cause of Palestine and vent their anger against the Apartheid regime of Israel, which has occupied Palestinian territories since 1967.

The day is also seen as the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini (RA), who officially declared the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day back in 1979.
