Palestine factions said the region is witnessing what they termed as an existential war triggered by the leadership of the zionist regime, particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
They stressed that his statements amount to a declaration of open aggression against Muslims and argued that this reflects the entity’s broader objective of asserting control and dominance across the region.
The movement called on “the Arab and Islamic nation to unite and maintain cohesion in order to thwart the objectives of this comprehensive aggression, in defense of our land, our holy sites, and the future of our generations.”
It affirmed that commemorating International Quds Day constitutes a victory for the central cause of the nation in Palestine and represents a rejection of the aggression and massacres carried out by the occupying regime and the US.
The movement further noted that the aggression launched by the administration of Donald Trump, “driven by miscalculations and arrogant hostility, has ignited fires across a number of countries in the region in order to protect the Zionist entity and impose its sovereignty, in pursuit of Talmudic myths aimed at destroying our holy sites, plundering our resources, and imposing humiliation and submission on our peoples.”

International Quds Day is an important milestone for renewing the commitment to Al-Quds and Palestine, and an occasion to mobilize the energies of free peoples in the face of zionist and American crimes.The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) affirms that marking “International Quds Day” this year transcends its symbolic dimension to express a renewed militant stance, confirming that Al-Quds will remain the beating heart of Palestine and the focal point of the struggle with the zionist project. The late leader Ruhollah Khomeini declared this day, designating the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as its annual date, to be an important milestone for renewing the commitment to Al-Quds and Palestine, and an occasion to mobilize the energies of free peoples and keep the compass of the struggle directed towards Palestine, as it is the central cause that unites the free people of the world in the face of zionist and American crimes.
In this context, the Front sends greetings of pride and honor to the march of martyrs, paved with great sacrifices, and to the militant leaders who ascended on the road to Al-Quds and on the support fronts; those who made their lives fuel for the flame of resistance, and solidified with their pure blood the unity of the fronts and destiny, affirming that their sacrifices will remain the beacon that illuminates the path of national liberation.
Quds Day this year comes in light of the escalating, organized zionist-American war of extermination against our people and the peoples of the region, especially in Iran and Lebanon, in a desperate attempt by the zionist enemy, in an American partnership, to implement its expansionist schemes and the project of “greater israel”. The successive developments and the steadfastness of the resistance forces have proven that the choice of confrontation is the real power capable of breaking the zionist and American aggression and thwarting their projects; for the targeting of leaders, the destruction of infrastructure, the siege, starvation, the committing of massacres, and the killing of children will only increase the vibrant resistance forces’ adherence to the path of resistance as the strategic choice to wrest freedom and sovereignty, and expel the occupier from our lands and our region.
The Front also salutes the millions of masses who took to the streets across the world to mark this day in support of Palestine, Al-Quds, and Gaza, and in rejection of the criminal zionist and American war on Iran and Lebanon, affirming the failure of all attempts to isolate the Palestinian cause from its Arab, Islamic, and global depth. It calls for the escalation of popular mobilization and international demonstrations in rejection of the war of extermination and aggression on Iran, Lebanon, and all resistance fronts, and to demand an end to the military and political support for the zionist and American killing machine.

On International Quds Day: We warn against the fascist occupation government escalating its aggression against Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa, and we call for unifying the nation’s efforts in confronting the schemes of the zionist enemy.This year’s International Quds Day comes in light of the zionist occupation escalating its aggression and schemes against Islamic and Christian sanctities in the occupied city of Al-Quds, at the heart of which is the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. The fascist occupation government continues its Judaization and settlement schemes in Al-Quds, closing the gates of Al-Aqsa to worshippers, and preventing the defenders stationed there from reaching it and observing spiritual retreat during the last ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan, in flagrant violation of all international norms, charters, and divine laws, amid suspicious international silence and abandonment.
On International Quds Day, the nature of the conflict is clearly revealed; as the war and escalation in the region coincide with a dangerous escalation in Palestine, reaching the point of closing the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque to worshippers during the month of Ramadan for the first time since 1967.
What is happening is not isolated events, but rather links in a single project aimed at breaking the will of the peoples of the region and destroying the elements of resistance and steadfastness in the nation, in preparation for imposing realities that serve the illusions of the zionist expansionist project and its alleged myths.
The masses of our Palestinian people and our Islamic nation commemorate International Quds Day, which comes every year on the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan, by recalling the status of Palestine and its crown jewel, the city of Al-Quds and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. They remember their duty toward their holy city and the journey site of the honest Messenger, and the necessity of fulfilling their responsibilities in defending them by all means and confronting the schemes of the zionist enemy.
International Quds Day, which this year comes in light of the zionist-American war targeting our region and our peoples, is an opportunity to unify the nation’s efforts and strengthen joint action supporting the steadfastness of the people of Al-Quds, those stationed there, and the defenders of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa. Defending them, supporting them, and protecting them from the danger of the occupation and its aggression and crimes is a joint responsibility around which the Arab and Islamic nation unites: leaders, governments, peoples, institutions, and organizations.
Al-Quds is not a detail in the equation of politics or a card in the calculations of interests; rather, it is the compass of truth in this nation, and Palestine will remain the standard of justice by which positions are revealed and wills are tested, until the aspirations of our people for liberation and return are achieved.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a single structure joined firmly.”
International Al-Quds Day is a luminous and steadfast milestone in the conscience of the nation, and an affirmation of the centrality of the conflict between truth and falsehood.
Today, the masses of our nation observe International Al-Quds Day in light of the continued cowardly zionist-American aggression against our people and the peoples of our nation, especially in Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, in a clear attempt to break the will of the peoples of the region and subject them to the zionist-American project of hegemony and arrogance.
At the heart of this scene, Al-Quds and Palestine remain the title of the great confrontation, as the zionist occupation continues its crimes against our people, escalates the policy of Judaization and settlement, attempts to erase the Arab and Islamic identity of the holy city, conducts operations of Judaization and open war on all cities and villages of the West Bank, and continues the war of extermination and siege on our people in the Gaza Strip, amidst open American support and blatant international complicity.
International Al-Quds Day, which was launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran decades ago, comes as it fights a direct battle with the forces of global arrogance and evil with all steadfastness and competence, with its leaders and sons offering themselves as martyrs, led by the supreme guide of the Islamic revolution, the martyred Sayyid Ali Khamenei, may Allah have mercy on him.
Al-Quds Day comes today to renew the presence of this cause in the consciousness of the nation, and to confirm that Al-Quds is not the cause of a people or a state, but the cause of an entire nation that transcends borders and geography, and brings together the free people of various nations, far from the sectarian and doctrinal divisions that the enemy of the nation works to fuel and expand.
On this occasion, we in the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement affirm the following:
First: Al-Quds will remain the axis of the conflict and the focus of the attention of the Islamic nation, for it is a blessed Islamic land and a unifying cause for all Muslims, and there is no legitimacy for the zionist occupation on its land, no matter how long it lasts.
Second: While we salute all the blessed efforts based on the activities of this great day, we praise the valor of the Iranian forces and the valor of the honorable Lebanese and Iraqi resistance fighters in confronting the zionist-American aggression.
Third: We confirm that it is the duty of the nation to mobilize its efforts and play the required role in supporting Al-Quds and the Islamic sanctities that are being subjected to a fierce zionist attack, especially the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has been subjected to continuous aggression, siege, and unjust closure for two weeks.
Fourth: Resistance in all its forms will remain the legitimate option for the peoples of the nation in confronting the occupation and aggression, and it is the path to protecting rights and safeguarding dignity in the face of policies of hegemony and surrender.
Fifth: We call on the masses of our nation to rally around its central cause, Palestine, and to work to restore the unity of the nation and close ranks in the face of the zionist danger that targets the entire nation and threatens its present and future.
In conclusion, Al-Quds will remain the title of this stage and the compass of the conflict, and International Al-Quds Day will remain a symbol of the unity of the free people in the nation, and a station for renewing the pledge to continue the path of resistance until the liberation of the land and the sanctities, and the restoration of the nation’s dignity and unity in the face of the zionist project and its aides.

The anniversary of International Quds Day is not a passing commemoration; rather, it is a mobilization of all Muslim peoples in the world in support of the sanctities, foremost among them the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and in support of our Palestinian people and their just cause in their conflict with the zionist occupier and those who support it.International Quds Day is a call for Islamic unity in the face of zionist-American imperial arrogance, which intends to control the Arab and Islamic world and its resources. What happened in Gaza in terms of war crimes and genocide, and what is happening in Lebanon and Iran, is evidence that this aggression is a religious, doctrinal aggression aimed at achieving alleged biblical prophecies at the expense of Arab and Islamic peoples, and realizing their so-called alleged state of “greater israel” from the Euphrates to the Nile.
We call upon the Arab and Islamic nation, governments and peoples, to cast aside all differences, exercise reason, unite their goals and objectives, and stand in one rank to confront this zionist-American aggression, and work to support the Palestinian people and protect their sanctities and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has become alone, suffering under the mercy of the occupation’s leaders and their settlers, where prayer is prevented, and excavations increase beneath it in preparation for its demolition and the construction of their alleged temple on its ruins.
We extend our fraternal greetings to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its people, leadership, and Supreme Leader, for it is the sponsor and founder of International Quds Day, which has paved its way into the ranks and hearts of the Islamic world and the free people of the world, to confirm to everyone the extent of Muslims’ attachment to their sanctities, their land, and their resources, and that they are capable of protecting and liberating them.
We pay tribute to the martyrs of our Palestinian people, and the martyrs of the Arab and Islamic peoples who ascended on the path to Al-Quds and in support of it, and we salute all the pure hands pressing the trigger to liberate the land of Palestine from this rogue zionist occupation.
It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most MercifulOn the occasion of International Al-Quds Day, we confirm that all attempts to subjugate the Palestinian people and their resistance have failed, and that Palestine and Al-Quds have become embedded in the conscience, minds, and hearts of all members of the nation and the free people of the world, and that the zionist entity has become an isolated, outcast, fragile, and defeated entity.
On International Al-Quds Day, we extend our greetings to all the pure martyrs among the leaders of the Resistance Axis, foremost among them the guide and leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the late martyred Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and all the great leaders who ascended in the battles of True Promise and Al-Aqsa Flood, and all the martyrs of our people, our resisting axis, and all the martyrs who ascended while confronting the forces of zionist-American tyranny.
On International Al-Quds Day, we affirm that the zionist-American targeting of the Islamic Republic of Iran comes precisely because of its absolute adoption of the cause of the liberation of Palestine and Al-Quds, and its great and continuous support for the Palestinian resistance.
The criminal targeting of the martyr leader, His Eminence Sayyed Ali Khamenei, came because of his effective and significant role in the awakening of the nation’s people and the unification of all arenas and fronts in order to stand in the face of the zionist criminals and the forces of hegemony and Western colonialism, foremost among them the American devil.
The revolutionary, jihadist path and approach that the Islamic Republic of Iran has committed to in supporting the Palestinian people, their resistance, and all resistance forces opposing the occupation and global arrogance represents a source of pride and dignity for all the people of the nation, the Islamic Republic, and its brave leaders.
In light of the attempts to Judaize the city of Al-Quds and the daily violations and continuous desecration that the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is subjected to, it is the duty of every member of the Arab and Islamic nation to support the destination of our Prophet, peace be upon him. Al-Quds was and will remain the compass of this conflict and its title, the path of the fighters everywhere, and a title for the unity of the struggling nation. Any abandonment or attempt to abandon an inch of Al-Quds is a betrayal of Allah, the Messenger, the religion, the homeland, and the sacrifices of the martyrs throughout history.
On International Al-Quds Day, we renew our full standing and solidarity with the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership, and its people, as well as with the brotherly Lebanese people and their resistance, represented by the Islamic Resistance and the brave resisting Hezbollah, as well as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, and we call for further unity and integration at all levels and spheres in order to confront and defeat the zionist-American aggression against Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza.

On International Quds Day, we praise the rocket strikes carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps targeting the zionist enemy entity, as part of the continuous bombardment operations on the entity, using qualitative and cluster missiles, which healed the chests of our bereaved people and lit up the hearts of the free people before they illuminated the sky of “Tel Aviv.”
The exit of millions of the dear Iranian people today in support of Al-Aqsa, despite the rabid war against them, and the union of the leaders with the masses, is further proof of their principled position supporting Palestine, and that the Islamic Republic, under the leadership of Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, will continue on the same path that was charted by the martyr Sayyid Ali Khamenei with his blood.
International Quds Day, which the masses of our Islamic peoples commemorated in support of Palestine, is an opportunity to unite the energies of the nation and correct the compass towards its major issues. For Al-Quds is groaning under the occupation, your Al-Aqsa Mosque is empty of worshipers, and your real enemy is the zionist entity that is lurking for you and expanding the circle of its aggression against our nation day after day.

International Quds Day comes today in light of a phase of dangers and challenges centered around the brutal American zionist war and aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the leader of the Axis of Resistance from Palestine to Yemen, which is defending and repelling the aggression with its fourth true promise, adhering to its rights and principled positions, and the ability of its leadership to continue the confrontation under the banner of Ayatollah, Hujjat al-Islam, Imam the Leader Ali Khamenei, may Allah have mercy on him, who is preceded by many martyred leaders, nuclear scientists, and innocent citizens. This comes in the context of the continuation of the blessed Al-Aqsa Flood battle, which is nearing two and a half years, as the Palestinian people and their brave resistance wage the most magnificent epics of heroism and legendary steadfastness in the face of the war of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and horrific massacres committed by the enemy in the Gaza Strip, the proud West Bank, and Al-Quds, and in conjunction with the repeated attacks by the zionist occupation on brotherly Lebanon, where the Islamic Resistance led by Hezbollah is confronting it with valor in defense of the land and the people.We, in the Central Committee of the Fatah Al-Intifada Movement, remain committed to the covenant and continue on the path of Al-Quds, committed to the approach and choice of resistance as the only path to liberation and return to Palestine, all of Palestine, from its river to its sea, and the establishment of the Palestinian state on the entire national territory with Al-Quds as its eternal capital.
Iran will be victorious.
Victory to the resistance fighters.
Freedom for the prisoners and detainees.
Glory and immortality to the righteous martyrs.
It is a revolution until victory.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.In these blessed Ramadan days, we recall the anniversary of International Quds Day, which was established by the founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and its leader, Imam Khomeini (may Allah have mercy on him), as an expression of the adherence of Muslims in all corners of the earth to their sanctities in Palestine, foremost among them the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. It is a call for unity and solidarity for the sake of liberating the land and the sanctities, supporting the Palestinian people and their cause, and confronting the “israeli” occupation and its supporters.
What our region is witnessing today is an existential war ignited by the leaders of the usurping zionist entity, headed by the war criminal Netanyahu, who declared with no ambiguity that his entity is waging an open aggression against all Muslims, without exception, in a clear indication of the entity’s goals to impose its control and hegemony over our region and our nation.
The treacherous aggression launched by the foolish Trump administration, driven by miscalculations and hateful arrogance, has ignited fires in many countries of the region to protect the zionist entity and impose its sovereignty, in fulfillment of Talmudic myths that aim to destroy our sanctities, plunder our wealth, and impose humiliation and submission on our peoples. We call upon the entire Arab and Islamic nation to unite and stand together to thwart the goals of this comprehensive aggression, in defense of our land, our sanctities, and the future of our generations. Commemorating International Quds Day is a victory for the nation’s central cause in Palestine and a rejection of the aggression and the massacres of the criminal entity and the American administration.
On this occasion, we extend our greetings to the Islamic Republic of Iran, a dear and proud people, a courageous government, and a towering and steadfast leadership, for its heroic steadfastness in the face of the American-“israeli” aggression. It has presented its leader, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, as a martyr for the sake of the nation’s rise and the deterrence of aggression, in defense of the freedom of its peoples and in support of the Muslims’ sanctities in Palestine.
We also extend our greetings to all the fighters who are waging the most honorable battles against the zionist enemy on all fronts, especially the heroes of the Islamic Resistance in southern Lebanon who are offering their souls as a sacrifice for their land and sanctities.
And it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.
