“The message of the International Quds Day is that Quds is not for sale,neither is it a property of the US to bestow it to Israel,” the Iraniandiplomatic chief underlined, and added, “Also the Zionist regime is notentitled to have any claim about Quds.”
“Quds belongs to Muslims and the people of Palestine. Nobody is allowed togive up the first Qibla of the Muslims to Israel and Zionists or doanything else [about it] because it will mar the cause of Palestine,” hestressed.
