RNA - The IRGC said in the statement on Wednesday that annually commemorating the Quds day has frightened the US administration, the Zionist regime of Israel and their regional allies.

It referred to the US and Israeli-proposed peace plan namely the 'Deal of the Century', and said that it is doomed to failure.

It added that the Palestinian issue has entered a new phase and the Palestinian Intifada has turned global and become an international intifada.

The IRGC added that the Resistance Discourse and the Palestinian Axis consider "ousting the occupiers, and kicking out the Zionists from the occupied lands and the return of the Palestinian refugees to hold free elections," as the only solution to the Palestinian issue.

According to Fars News Agancy, the IRGC statement further called on the Iranian people to attend the massive Quds Day rallies and reaffirm their allegiance to the Palestinian cause and Holy Quds.

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.
