The Palestinian Forum in Britain held its seventh annual Iftar in Byron Hall, on Saturday 1st April, where a number of prominent personalities from the Arab and Islamic communities in the United Kingdom attended the Iftar. In addition, Sheikh Imam Muhammad Jibril from Egypt was also present.

Sheikh Imam Muhammad Jibril opened the ceremony with a beautiful and touching Quran reciting and later ended it by leading the participants in Tarawih prayers.

Tariq Hammoud, Vice-President of the Palestinian Forum in Britain, said a few moving words at the opening of the iftar as well, he spoke of the heroes still fighting for their land and the land of their ancestors, standing in the face of the occupation and reminding them that Al-Aqsa will remain ours.

Hammoud reminded the audience of the need to participate in political activities in support of our people in Jerusalem and throughout Palestine during the coming weeks, especially the annual march on the anniversary of the Nakba on Saturday 13 of next month.
