Palestinians break with Saudi Eid date for first time in years

Jun 05, 2019 - 7:30 AM

The "Quds day" (the day of Jerusalem), a commemoration first initiated by Iran in 1979 to fall on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan expresses support for displaced Palestinians and against the presence of Jewish settlements in Israeli-occupied territories.
