Gathering Held in Afghanistan’s Capital to Mark Int’l Quds Day

TEHRAN (IQNA) – A gathering was held in the Afghan capital Kabul to mark the International Quds Day.

The participants called for unity among Muslim nations in support of Palestine against Israeli aggression.

Afghans in the capital Kabul have held a conference titled; “Quds; the axis of unity of the Islamic world” to mark the International Quds Day and to support Palestine.

Speakers condemned Israeli aggression against the oppressed Palestinians and called for the freedom of al-Quds.

Participants vowed to never leave Palestinians alone in their fight for regaining occupied territories and defending al-Aqsa mosque.

They also called on Muslim nations to take a strong stance against Israeli crimes, denouncing the normalization of ties with the regime.

Like elsewhere in the region and beyond, people in Afghanistan, mark the International Quds Day every year, taking the opportunity to voice empathy and solidarity with Palestinians.

Despite struggling with many difficulties in their country, Afghans have never forgotten the plight of Palestinians. People here say Muslims should gather on the axis of al-Quds and fight arrogance.

The International Quds Day is a legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, who designated the day in solidarity with Palestinians.

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the International Quds Day has been held worldwide on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

This year, the International Quds Day falls on Friday, April 29.
