For the fifth consecutive day, the Call of Al-Aqsa procession, organized by the Global Campaign to Return to Palestine (GCRP), extended its presence along the pilgrims’ route between Najaf al-Ashraf and holy Karbala, at pole 833, amid growing engagement from Arbaeen pilgrims arriving from various countries around the world.

The fifth day’s program blended spiritual, intellectual, and artistic elements, beginning with a blessed recitation from the Holy Qur’an, followed by an anasheed segment carrying messages of solidarity and steadfastness with the Palestinian people.

Sheikh Mohammad Al-Naoui delivered a speech stressing the unity of ranks in confronting the occupation and the need to translate solidarity into concrete action on the ground.

In the artistic segment, actor Walid Saadeddine presented a theatrical performance portraying scenes of Palestinian suffering under siege. This was followed by a solidarity address delivered by Dr. Abdel Malik Sukkariyeh, Secretary-General of the GCRP, in support of the hunger strikers in Ramallah, affirming the unity of struggle across all fronts.

The day concluded with a selection of anasheed renewing the pledge to Palestine and Al-Aqsa, amid notable interaction from participants, ensuring the procession remains a living platform for Gaza’s voice on the road to Karbala.
