Palestinians’ Culture of Seeking Martyrdom Reason for Zionists’ Failure: Hamas Official
Addressing the International Quds Day rally in Tehran on Friday, Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the Hamas political bureau and the deputy chief in the Gaza Strip, said the culture of seeking martyrdom is growing stronger day after day among Palestinian resistance fighters.
He criticized those who seek concessions with the Zionist regime and said the Palestinian resistance has defeated the regime and shattered the illusion of its invincibility.
Hayya added that the Palestinian nation will not allow the Zionist regime to carry out its plans to Judaize the holy city of Al-Quds.
He also hailed the Iranian people and establishment’s support for the cause of Palestine and Al-Quds.
People in Iran held rallies on Friday, the International Quds Day, to condemn the Zionist regime’s crimes and underline support for Palestinian resistance against Israel until he liberation of Al-Quds.
The demonstrations began at 10 AM in Tehran and 900 other cities and towns across the country.
Senior political and military officials, including President Seyed Ebrahim Raeisi, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri were also attending the rally in Tehran.
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.
