Gaza Day is observed in Iran every year on January 19, corresponding to the 29th of Dey in the Solar Hijri calendar. This commemorative day was established by the Islamic Consultative Assembly following the ceasefire of the Gaza War in 2009 to express solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle against Israeli occupation. The observance emphasizes the courage and resilience of Muslims and highlights the Iranian people's support for Palestine. Gaza Day is part of a broader context of solidarity events, including Quds Day, which is observed on the last Friday of Ramadan. The Gaza Strip, a Palestinian enclave, serves as a focal point for these observances, reflecting the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region.
