Statement of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Brunei Darussalam on the Occasion of International Quds Day – 2024
In the Name of God
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
“The International Quds Day”, which is the historic initiative of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hazrat Imam Khomeini (May Allah’s Peace be upon him) is an annual pro-Palestinian event held on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and is a day of solidarity with the Palestinian people and a call for the liberation of Palestine from Israeli occupation. This day is a reminder of the ongoing struggle of the Palestinian people for their rights, their land, and their dignity.
The Zionist regime’s barbarism and savagery in the Gaza Strip continue before the eyes of the whole world. on the verge of the 200 days of non-stop war against the Gaza Strip, the situation of Palestine and its civilized and oppressed people have turned into a major human catastrophe. The massacre of nearly 40,000 innocent infants, children, women and men at the hands of an occupying, racist, and terrorist regime, the pursuit of the scorched-earth policy, and the utter ruination of the Gaza Strip by destruction of residential houses, infrastructure, hospitals, schools, mosques and churches and the deliberate starvation to death of its people have continued.
Despite the fact that the cries and lamentations of the oppressed and helpless Palestinian children and women have risen to the ceiling of the heavens, the patient and resistant Palestinian nation has courageously and valiantly stood against this great historical injustice and crime.
While over the past six months we have witnessed tremendous cohesion and concord among the justice-seeking and conscientious people in solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and in expressing abhorrence for the infanticidal Zionist regime in the capitals, cities, and villages of world countries, from the global East to the West, even in the streets of the capitals and cities of Western countries, hundreds of millions of justice-seeking and freedom-loving people the world over will raise louder than ever before the cry of innocence and courage and anti-oppressiveness of the heroic Palestinian nation and the truth and reality of what is transpiring in the Palestinian territory on this year's International Quds Day as they demand the liberation of Palestine from the yoke of oppression, tyranny, occupation, and genocide, not only as the ‘first issue’ of the World of Islam, but as the issue of the world of humanity and the most flagrant example of gross violation of human rights and international laws and regulations.
As the International Quds Day (the 5th of April 2024) draws near, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Brunei Darussalam emphasizes the continuation of the principled and constant policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in supporting the liberation struggles and legitimate resistance of the Palestinian nation and the necessity of effective, comprehensive, and deterrent counteraction against the crimes of the occupying and child-killing Zionist regime and calls on all Muslim governments and nations and the freedom- and truth-seekers of the world to stand in unity and solidarity so as to confront this ‘cancerous tumor’ and disruptor of regional and international stability and security and to provide real and practical aid and support to the oppressed Palestinian people.
