TEHRAN, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called for Muslims worldwide to participate on Al-Quds Day, or Jerusalem Day, scheduled for Friday, according to Tasnim news agency.
Al-Quds Day is an annual event which started in Iran in 1979.
It is observed on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Iran along with several Arab countries.
Rouhani called for demonstrations of "unity and solidarity" among Muslims worldwide in support of Palestinians and "the liberation of Al-Quds."
"We should neither forget the Zionist Israeli crimes nor let down the Palestinians, who have been displaced from their homes for almost 70 years now," Rouhani was quoted as saying.
