Bangladesh has strongly condemned the violence perpetrated by occupying Israeli forces against innocent worshippers and civilians at the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem during prayers on Wednesday morning.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh expressed deep concern about Israeli forces’ violations of basic civil norms, international human rights laws, and international treaties.
Bangladesh believes that religious freedom is a fundamental human right, and that the right to practice religious rituals, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan, must be protected.
Bangladesh also urged the international community to take long-term steps to put an end to such repeated violence in occupied territories, which violates international norms.
Bangladesh reiterates its support for the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to a sovereign and independent homeland, and reaffirms its support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on a two-state solution.
