Foreign Ministry Urges Iranian Nation to Condemn Peace Talks on Quds Day

TEHRAN- The Iranian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Thursday called on the Iranian nation to condemn the US attempts to revive “peace talks” between “Israel” and the Palestinians in the International Quds Day rallies on Friday, according to FNA.

The statement issued today urged all Iranian people and other Muslims and freedom lovers elsewhere in the world to actively take part in the International Quds Day (August 2) rallies to voice opposition to the occupation of the Holy Quds, the Zionist Regime’s aggressions against Palestinians and the US efforts to resume the so-called “peace talks” between the “Zionist regime” and the Palestinians.

 “These talks, within their predetermined framework, can never guarantee the interests and legitimate demands of the oppressed people of Palestine,” part of the statement read.

The last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan is dubbed as ‘the international Quds Day’ during which worldwide Muslims and non-Muslims (including anti-Zionist Jews) stage demonstrations to voice their strong protest and outrage at the occupying regime of “Israel”.

The International Quds Day was started by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, as a way of expressing solidarity with the Palestinians and underscoring importance of Quds to Muslims.
