In the ancient city of Jerusalem, believers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Meanwhile, the Oranews.al conveys, Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas, as well as other state officials, held the prayer near the presidential building. In his speech, the Palestinian leader congratulated all believers on peace and prosperity.

Believers in Egypt and Jordan after prayer congratulated on more peace and prosperity for all citizens of their countries.
