Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said the Palestinian people have the rights to live and have their own state.
“The people of Gaza have the rights to live but it is a very sad thing what is happening there. So we should help them, and stop this invasion and war,” she said in an interview with Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency on the sidelines of Munich Security Conference 2024 on Saturday (February 18, 2024).
She said there is a two state theory in 1967 UN resolution. “It should be implemented immediately.”
According to Sheikh Hasina, what is happening in Gaza is just a genocide. “I feel it is a genocide. So, we don’t support it. Bangladesh has always stood against genocide.” She called upon the global leaders to stop genocide in Gaza.
The Bangladesh premier has called upon the world leaders to support and help “the suffering children, women, and people of Palestine.” She said Bangladesh has already sent some assistance for them.
Replying to a query on planned Israeli operation on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, the premier said Bangladesh has never supported such an offensive.
