The biggest global mass rallies in support of the occupied city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque are to take place Friday and Saturday in more than 80 cities in 42 countries around the world.
Huge marches are to kick off in the West Bank and the occupied territories of 1948, heading towards Jerusalem or to the nearest point to it, in addition to the rallies taking place in the surrounding countries, in several Arab countries, as well as in Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, 10 European countries, Latin America and in countries where there are Israeli embassies.
The Jerusalem International Foundation has urged Arabs, Muslims and the international community to participate in the rallies, saying: “At the time that when the Israeli occupation is celebrating the anniversary of its occupation of the city of Jerusalem, we need to unify all efforts and capabilities in support of Jerusalem, and we have faith in the people of the Arab and Islamic world as well as the liberals of the world who have renewed their loyalty to Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa through the organisation of the Global March towards Jerusalem.”
It also demanded that the Palestinian and Arab masses and all the popular and official institutions “strongly and effectively participate in the march and in its different events in order to send a message to the occupation that Arabs and Muslims will protect Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa with whatever they have and will preserve their principles and sanctities.”
Arab governments have called for “immediate and urgent intervention to rescue the holy city,” asking officials to “get closer to the pulse of the people who reject the occupation’s attacks.”
