Grand Ayatollah Sistani issues a statement about the ongoing confrontations in Occupied Palestine

The Office of the Supreme Religious Authority in Najaf announced today, Wednesday, the Grand Ayatollah’s affirmation of its unequivocal support for the Palestinian people in resisting the occupiers who seek to annex more of their lands and displace them from other parts of Al-Quds.

The following is the text of the statement:

 

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

The religious authority affirms - once again - its categorical support for the proud Palestinian people in their valiant resistance to the occupiers, who seek to annex more of their lands and displace them from other parts of Al-Quds, and calls on free peoples to support them in regaining their stolen rights.

The violent confrontations taking place in the Al-Aqsa Mosque squares and the rest of the occupied territories these days undoubtedly demonstrate the extent of the Palestinians' resilience in the face of the brutal occupation and its continuous aggressions and their failure to abandon their usurped lands, no matter the sacrifices.

We ask the Almighty to help them and provide them with a victory.

“And victory comes only from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.” (Holy Quran 3:126)
