Dhaka: Bangladesh has
expressed deep shock at "Israeli atrocities" and violence in Gaza
in recent days that has caused loss of lives of Palestinian
civilians and posed renewed threat to regional peace and
stability.
The ministry of foreign affairs said Dhaka strongly condemned the
Israeli action and "calls for an immediate cessation of its
atrocities on the civilian population in Gaza and to ensure a
reversal to normality", Xinhua reported.
Bangladesh also urges the international community to put pressure
on Israel to stop violence, it said.
The ministry statement said Bangladesh maintains its principled
position on a comprehensive solution of the Palestinian question
in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions, the Arab Peace
Plan and the Road Map.
It said Bangladesh has always strongly supported the just cause of
the Palestinian people and their legitimate and inalienable right
to a free and sovereign Palestinian state.
The statement also said Bangladesh strongly believes that the
occupation of Palestinian land must come to an end, and the
Palestinian people must have their own independent state with East
Jerusalem as its capital.
Bangladesh believes that the international community must
strengthen their efforts, individually and collectively, to
support the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people, it
added.
