Iran mocks Israel's 'waning existence' in Quds Day Twitter post

Iran mocks Israel's 'waning existence' in Quds Day Twitter post



Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday tweeted a video and message in honor of Quds Day, criticizing Israel as having a "waning existence."

"The waning existence of Israel is no longer able to deceive the world," the ministry tweeted. "No conspiracy will save the Zionist regime. Quds belongs to Palestinians."

The term Quds means Jerusalem and Quds Day is a celebration common in Iran and other Shi'ite Muslim populations, such as in Lebanon, Syria and elsewhere.

The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, created Quds Day in 1979 as a worldwide demonstration to protest the existence of the state of Israel.

The video, set to dramatic music, is a montage of still images ranging from Israeli and US flag burnings to pro-Palestinian protests.

The video also comes following several statements made by Palestinian and Iranian leaders on the growing internal divisions within Israel.

These divisions were sparked by the judicial reform crisis, which has seen unprecedented numbers of Israelis take to the streets in protest. 

"The Zionist entity is in a state of conflict and vision and is heading towards internal disintegration," Hamas deputy head Saleh al-Arouri said Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi discussed the weakness of Israel with Syrian President Bashar Assad.


“The crimes of the Zionist regime are a sign of weakness and are proof of a bright and promising future for the resistance movement.”

Speaking after clashes on the Temple Mount amid Ramadan, Raisi told Assad that “the crimes of the Zionist regime are a sign of weakness and are proof of a bright and promising future for the resistance movement.”

Raisi further claimed the world was changing and that support was now growing for the “axis of the resistance” against Israel.
