Iran Commemorates Int’l Day of Solidarity with Palestine

“Palestine, the most universal human cause, remains the most outstanding crisis of our humanity and symbolizes unrealized rights and unfulfilled promises,” Esmaeil Baqaei said in a post on his X account on Friday.

“On International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we hail their epic resistance and resilience as they continue to endure extreme pain and suffering under long time brutal occupation and apartheid exacerbated by incessant genocidal attacks during the past 14 months. The 'colonial erasure' project is now violating Palestinians' basic right to life in the most brutal way,” he stated.

“The world is legally and morally obliged to stand in solidarity, both in words and in action, with the Palestinian people in their just struggle for inalienable right of self-determination and to live in peace and dignity,” the Iranian spokesman added.

In 1977, the UN General Assembly called for the annual observance of November 29 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. On this day, in 1947, the Assembly adopted the resolution on the partition of Palestine.

In resolution 60/37 of December 1, 2005, the Assembly requested the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the Division for Palestinian Rights, as part of the observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on November 29, to continue to organize an annual exhibit on Palestinian rights or a cultural event in cooperation with the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the UN.

The resolution on the observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People also encourages Member States to continue to give the widest support and publicity to the observance of the Day of Solidarity.
