According to the website of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization, it will be held by the “Voice of Palestine” Institute in cooperation with Indonesia’s KAHMI Society.
The ambassadors of Palestine and the Islamic Republic of Iran in Jakarta as well as a number of Indonesian scholars and political figures will attend the forum.
The right of return, ideology of resistance and the importance of the International Quds Day, Indonesia’s political stance on the Palestinians’ resistance, and role of grassroots organizations in bringing about the liberation of Palestine are among the themes of the event.
The forum will be held ahead of the International Quds Day, which will fall on Friday, July 10, this year.
Imam Khomeini (RA), the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in August 1979 declared the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day, calling on Muslims across the world to mark the annual occasion by holding street rallies.
Since then, worldwide rallies are held every year to commemorate the Palestinian people’s resistance against the Zionist regime and their struggles to liberate their territories which have been occupied by Israel for decades.
Millions of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, including Muslims and non-Muslims, take to the streets to denounce Israel’s atrocities against the people of Palestine on this day.
