Thanks to Islamic Awakening, today the issue of Palestine has become the main issue of the world of Islamonce again. You should not let this distinction and this advantage disappear and be concealed under the machinations and plots of the enemies of Muslims and the Islamic Ummah. The issue of Palestine is one of the main issues. Over time, the people evaluate their governments with their positions on the issue of Palestine. Of course, pressure by the arrogant and autocratic powers, suppression and coercion have not allowed the wishes of the people to reveal themselves. This year, much to the disappointment of the Zionists, in the Quds Day rallies, the regional nations managed to speak what they felt in their hearts regarding the issue of Palestine.And by Allah's favor, this movement will become stronger on a daily basis.
Of course, the enemy will not stand by and watch. The plots of the enemy will become more complex. Government officials of the Muslim countries, governments of the Muslim countries and outstanding Muslim personalities - including outstanding political personalities, outstanding cultural personalities, intellectuals and religious scholars -have a responsibility to clarify this truth for nations. Today the arrogant and autocratic powers have returned to the old method of fomenting discord in order to overcome nations. Under different pretexts, they foment discord between leaders of different countries, between different governments and between different nations. Fomenting discord has been the permanent method used by the arrogant powers. They have tried to revive ethnic and nationalistic sentiments among the people of different countries. They have tried to highlight the natural differences that exist between languages, races, skin colors and religions. This is what the arrogant powers do. This is their old method: "Divide and rule." And today they are pursuing the same plan. We need to awaken. Both the people and the governments of the Muslim countries should be cautious and vigilant.
Contrary to the existing realities, they hide the main threat to this region and even all of humanity - namely, the Zionist regime. Zionism is a threat to all humanity. Today even western governments are under the influence of the Zionists. They too are suffering from the Zionist centers of power and wealth. And it is clear how the regional nations have suffered at the hands of the Zionists.
