All days will remain for Jerusalem with its Muslim and Christian people
They talk about International Al-Quds Day, and celebrations and marches took place in dozens of countries and hundreds of cities on this occasion, and all participants affirmed their solidarity and support for this city and their rejection of any prejudice to its historical reality.
One day is not enough to offer respect, appreciation and defense of Jerusalem, but all days are for this unparalleled city and all days must be expressions of appreciation and praise for it. It means everything to the essence of the Christian religion and took its name from the resurrection of Christ from the dead.
In these days, the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan is celebrated, just as the Orthodox churches celebrate Good Friday, Light Saturday and Glorious Easter. Thus, Islamic and Christian religious holidays are celebrated in about one week.
Thus, the unity between Muslims and Christians deepens on the religious level, and it is the one that deepens strongly on the political and national level strongly and continuously, despite what we see of divisions between partisan forces and narrow factional interests.
Support for Jerusalem on its day does not come with mere speeches and statements, but rather with the Palestinian presence and actions that support this presence and this city.
And the occupation, as is its habit and nature, does not stop taking measures to impede access to Christian and Islamic religious places, and they set up military checkpoints at the entrances to the Old City and at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular, and the whole city in general.
The Israeli authorities also ignored that this day is the international day for Jerusalem and its victory and for all of Palestine.
However, all these measures did not prevent about 250,000 Muslims from reaching the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and praying in its courtyards, and they will not prevent Christians from praying in their holy places, no matter how severe and unjustified all their arbitrary and unjustified steps and measures are. And Jerusalem will remain the eternal capital of Palestine, and its minarets will continue to ring with the call to prayer, and the bells of its churches will ring loudly.
