To commemorate the International Quds Day, people across the world are preparing to hold rallies in support of Palestinians.

Quds Day, designated by the late founder of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, is observed on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Mass rallies are held in different parts of the world on the occasion every year in solidarity with Palestinians and in condemnation of the occupation of Jerusalem (al-Quds).

Meanwhile millions of Iranians took to the streets in different cities to mark the annual Quds Day march in solidarity with Palestinians.

At the end of the rallies in Tehran, a statement was issued in support of Palestinians.

The statement said that the Iranians "support Palestinian resistance", adding that "Israel must avoid any new adventurism " in the region.

Participation in Quds day is not limited to Muslims. Muslims and non-Muslims in huge numbers all over the world, including Jews, demonstrate to renew their dedication to support the Palestinians and to condemn the Israeli occupation.
