Iran's president urges mosques to raise awareness about oppressed Gazans
The Iranian president has called on mosques in Muslim states to enlighten people about the situation of the oppressed Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who are subjected to the genocidal Israeli war.
Ebrahim Raeisi made the remarks in a meeting with Mohamed Mamoun el-Kacimi el-Hassani, the Imam of the Grand Mosque of Algiers, in the Algerian capital on Saturday.
“Today, raising awareness about the oppressed Palestinian Muslims in Gaza is not the main issue of the Muslim world but rather the mankind and it should be at the center of activities made by the mosques in Islamic territories,” he said.
Mosques, he added, can also create “unity and cohesion among the Islamic Ummah.”
Raeisi further said that the Islamic Republic and Algeria share a common position on the Palestinian issue.
“If the same common position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian nation and confronting the Zionist regime existed in the entire Muslim world, would the Zionists dare commit such crimes against the oppressed Palestinians?” he asked.
The Iranian chief executive also expressed Tehran’s readiness to develop cultural ties with Algeris.
Hassani, for his part, lauded Iran’s courageous and historic stance on the issue of Palestine and voiced hopes that other Muslim countries would follow suit.
Israel waged its brutal US-backed war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 30,410 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 71,533 others during the Gaza aggression.
Iran has called on Muslim countries to sever their political and economic relations with Israel, and cut off the regime’s vital arteries.
