Palestinian Islamic Jihad Declares Quds Day: A Rallying Cry for Islamic Unity in the Fight for Justice

The International Quds Day is a significant occasion that emphasizes the unity of the Islamic Ummah and the ongoing struggle for justice. Recently, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad expressed gratitude towards the Islamic Republic of Iran, Yemen, and Lebanese Hezbollah for their unwavering support during this critical time. As the world observes Quds Day, the movement reiterates its commitment to resistance and the fight for rights.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad stated, “We are proudly holding Quds Day marches to announce to the world that we have inherited struggle and resistance and this will continue.” This powerful declaration underscores the determination of the Palestinian people to stand against oppression.

On this day, the movement also highlighted the importance of reminding both Arabs and Muslims of the urgent need for solidarity. They declared, “On Quds Day, we remind the Arabs and Muslims that so long as the sanctities of the Islamic Ummah are in control of the enemies there will be no honor and future.” The call for unity is pivotal in the fight for justice and rights in the region.

Additionally, the Islamic Jihad Movement condemned the silence of the Arab and international community regarding the ongoing violence and genocide faced by the people in Gaza and the West Bank. They stated, “We condemn the silence of the Arab and international community about the genocide of the people in Gaza and the West Bank by the Zionist regime with the support of the United States.” This condemnation aims to raise awareness about the dire situation and urge global action.

The movement expressed confidence that the attempts by the Israeli cabinet and the Trump administration to create divisions among Palestinians will ultimately fail. They emphasized, “We confidently announce that the plots of the enemy’s cabinet (Israeli cabinet) and the Trump administration for creating rift among the Palestinian nation and relocating them through carnage and the policy of starvation will end in failure.” This belief demonstrates a strong resolve against external pressures.

Furthermore, the Islamic Jihad called upon Arab and Muslim nations, as well as free people around the globe, to join in rallies on Quds Day as a show of support for Gaza and the West Bank. They noted, “We also send our prayers to all who have stood against the genocide (at the hands of the Zionist regime) and stood on the side of the Palestinians.” This collective call to action aims to foster international solidarity.

Particularly noteworthy is the recognition of the Yemeni people’s resilience in the face of U.S. aggression. The movement stated, “The Islamic Jihad particularly praised the Yemeni people for resisting the raids by the United States on their country and are ‘paying the cost of their brave stance in defending Gaza.’” This acknowledgment reinforces the interconnectedness of various struggles for justice across the region.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad also extended gratitude to Iran, stating, “We also thank the nation, government, and Leader of Iran for adopting a principled position in face of threats by the U.S.” This expression of appreciation highlights the vital role that Iran plays in supporting the Palestinian cause.

Moreover, the Islamic Jihad thanked their Hezbollah counterparts, saying, “We also thank our Hezbollah brothers (in Lebanese) that sacrificed and continue to sacrifice their best things in path of defending Palestine.” This solidarity among resistance forces showcases a united front against oppression.

As part of their ongoing commitment, the Islamic Jihad affirmed their loyalty to the cause of freeing Palestinian prisoners of war. This dedication underscores the importance of addressing the plight of those unjustly detained.

Rallies commemorating Quds Day are being held across all Iranian cities, as well as in various Muslim and non-Muslim countries. These events not only serve as a reminder of the struggles faced by Palestinians but also as a call for global awareness and action.

In summary, the International Quds Day serves as a powerful reminder of the need for unity and solidarity among the Islamic Ummah and the global community in the fight for justice. As the Palestinian Islamic Jihad emphasizes, the struggle for rights and resistance against oppression will continue unabated.
